[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The lack of information is what would concern me, OP.  She’s clearly terrible with money.

It would take the sister one month of paying for a full time nanny to make up DH’s 4K.  So, in exchange for childcare, she should be wholly financially responsible.

They all have champagne tastes on a beer budget, and want OP to subsidize them. [b] I’d pay the $4K in exchange for a full financial POA, immediate sale of the house, liquidate all assets, [/b]etc.[/quote]

This will never happen.  People like the MIL are takers.  She was fine not working for decades to raise kids. She is fine retiring early despite inadequate savings.  She was fine remodeling her kitchen and now asking her working children to pay for it.  Giant mooch if you ask me.  This will never stop and is just the beginning.  She will demand a fancy assisted living facility that is 10k per month when she should be in a Medicaid facility.

OP this is just the beginning for you sadly.  4k is nothing compared to what you’ll be asked to pay for in the end.

Personally I’d say no and say you need the money to go to care later on.  Not a kitchen.
