[quote=Anonymous]I am an only child and don't see, talk or expect anything from my family so I'm have nothing to compare this to. DH put himself through college, bought his first car, still is paying off student loans and had to work the entire time he was in school. He then graduated and moved back home for one year during which ILs charged him rent. We then met, married and moved in and furnished our apartment with second hand, thrifty finds. We also paid for our own wedding, didn't ask for a dime, didn't expect it.

We went to see SIL this weekend at her first apartment (lived with parents rent free)and her stuff was incredible. All one Kings Lane and brand new. She said their parents bought everything. Plus all new kitchen stuff. She then went through and listed the price tag of everything. DH said parents paid for her college, she lived off campus and didn't work and have bought her multiple cars. When we left, she showed us her new 2014 Honda that mommy and daddy just bought as a congrats for her new job making 60 a year. Is this normal?? We don't want anything from them per se. But when DH talked about it, he said it's always been like that and then casually goes "they hate me and they love her." I also found out the pay her cell phone, buy clothes, and pay for hair cuts and beauty upkeep. Is anyone else family like this?? The sick part was the weird smile she had on her face when she could see DH squirming a bit. Like it made her happy to rub his face in it. It was so weird to me!! [/quote]
