[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  DH is suggesting that I use the 34k annual gift I get  from my parents towards the new house in perpetuity.  It really irks me that he's suggesting this while refusing to consider using any of his inheritance and any of our joint savings for a new house.  I don't think I'm being crazy here for being pissed off about this.  Maybe I should just spend the money on jewelry, spa vacations, hand bags, etc. just for myself rather than on something that would benefit the family if he refuses to spend on anything that would actually, you know, improve his kids' quality of life.

Nope, nope, nope. Keep those gifts in a separate account. Do not commingle. Tell him that since he is not comingling, you aren't either.

If you divorce, that will be your money in most states and not subject to being a marital asset that needs to be divided. Keep it in a new account all by itself and do not commingle it. Don't spend it on junk like jewelry. Spend your marital assets instead.[/quote]

Please god!  Don't let my son run into this woman's daugther!  Imagine being married to someone like you pp!  :roll: [/quote]

Or, please god! Don’t let my daughter marry a man with a schizophrenic brother who will become our daughter’s responsibility and whose care will be prioritized over that of our grandchildren, especially not one whorefuses to chip in any of his inherited wealth while, from the other side of his mouth, he demands that the money we give to our daughter be used to better his life and lessen his responsibilities.

OP’s children will have a perfectly fine house without the money the DH has set aside to take care of his brother.  You sound very spoiled and materialistic. [/quote]
