[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It also depends on the DILs. We're not going to care for my ILs because they haven't helped us at all. They did help my SIL, so they are her responsibility. My parents helped us tremendously, both financially and with childcare, so we will take care of them. They also helped my SIL and my brother,  so we will share responsibilities.  My SIL's mother abandoned her, so she didn't take care of her mother.  [/quote]
Did they raise your husband in such a way that he grew into a person you would choose above all others? Why did you need more help beyond that? Why isn’t that enough?[/quote]

No, they were actually very neglectful. Because my SIL has always been 100% financially supported by my ILs, from mortgage payments, utilities, property taxes, nanny while SAH, after-school activities for kids etc. My SIL is 40 years old and my FIL still pays her credit cards, she doesn't even get the statement. She is not disabled, just "low energy" with thyroid problems and she's still trying to find her calling outside shopping at Bloomingdales. My H got nothing, because he's hard working and married someone with a career. So, when you discriminate between your own children, you will also get discriminated in old age. My parents are amazing, they make sure both my brother and I get the same support and attention and they treat all the grandchildren the same.[/quote]
