[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again.

DH still pouting.  
Regarding income, I earn a lot more than him. We can live off my income but not his (almost his and when we aren't paying for preschool, probably his).  However, he manages our portfolio and does a really great job at it. We have 2 kids together and no other children.

The more I think about this, the less mad I am and the more confused. I honestly DO NOT think my ILs are irresponsible. Maybe they made a bad investment, or a few, but they don't really spend a lot of money as far as outward appearances go although I did hear my FIL tell my DH that MIL uses a very expensive face cream that cost hundreds of dollars. (Mine is from Target).

Anyway, i am not curious why DH is so pouty because of this. For the sake of our marriage, we are going to have to discuss this.

Thank you all, again, for giving me support but also pointing out the logic flaws.

I love the gold toilet comment especially.

Regarding supporting MY family, that's another thread entirely.  :-)

OP, please don't take this the wrong way, but if you came from a moneyed background, your parents would have taught you to say an emphatic NO! to schemes like this one. right now you feel like you are riding the financial wave up up up, but you never know when things could go south. And paying for some one else's retirement is not a way to protect yourself from this. You have a responsibility to your kids and your self, not to your in laws.[/quote]
