[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Long story short, gifts from ILs always come with strings attached. ..ILs came into an inheritance and now want to “treat” us to a vacation alone, and will even watch our kids! It’s too good to be true! We all know how that saying goes. Do I encourage him to decline the offer, reminding him the things mentioned above? Do I nudge him gently? Do I violently shake him awake?[/quote] ILs got an inheritance? Does this mean a GP bypassed a GC, the OP's DH? A single elderly sibling dies and left them $? Since ILs are offering a trip for two my guess is it's something they'll pay with accumulated points since otherwise they could generously gift the amount from the inheritance. That would be a treat. [b]Call their bluff and ask for cash.[/b] Or 529? Redo a powder room? Use it for anything. [/quote]
