[quote=Anonymous]OP seems much like her DH's siblings who demanded the money to pay off their student loans, with the only exception being she hasn't yet asked for the money.  It's very clear that she deeply resents using her money on her DH's education because she thinks the parent should have paid for it, same as DH's siblings.  OP is also willing to keep herself and her children away from the family because the money hasn't been offered, just like the siblings threatened to.

I agree that she resents using her money. I also agree that she thinks that the parent should have paid for it. But I don't agree that she's the same as them. She didn't demand it. The siblings did. Even after they demanded it, and they all got it, she STILL didn't demand it. I got the impression that she's irritated that they didn't get it like the others did, but would have continued on with her life without thinking too much more about it or letting it consume her or whatever.  The issue is that it's being rubbed in her face constantly when they all get together and act like "we're all a big happy family, oh why are you being different to us, why don't you come and sit with us and be one big happy family" when it's really that THEY decided that one couple would be different to the others. They can't complain about it now.

And no, I don't know the OP. [/quote]
