[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't imagine supporting a MIL who never wanted to work and didn't work for a decade after kids left the house. [/quote]

This is OP. This is how I feel. She is very entitled and refuses to go work as she thinks it is beneath her. He also has a sister who loves to mooch off her brother for bonus money.[/quote]

OP, I was in your position ten years ago. My fiancé (DH) paid for his sister's college and also helped support his broke parents. His mom did not work either, and his dad made very little in a blue collar job.

I thought it very admirable that he helped his family so much. It made me love him more. Now I know better - his family was taking advantage of him (his intelligence, his work ethic). They didn't have to work hard because he always did it for them. And eventually it did actually come down to making decisions for the benefit of our (nuclear) family versus his family of origin.

It has caused enormous strife in our family.

I would be weary. [/quote]
