[quote=Anonymous]Why are people telling OP this isn't her concern? Once her DH is using their joint finances to support his parents because they unwisely bailed out his sister, then it most certainly DID become OP's concern. I would be coldly polite to SIL and speak to her as little as possible. Agree with the prior recommendations that the DH pay certain IL bills directly as opposed to just giving cash. And I would make it clear to DH that if sister ever asks for money, the answer is a hard no. Irresponsible relatives will treat you like a slot machine if you ever give $$---even if they know that you will probably say no, the fact that you said yes once means that there is always a chance of hitting that jackpot again. Honestly, her DH ought to insist on being in charge of her IL's finances as a condition of giving them money.[/quote]
