What happens when property taxes are due?[/quote] 
The property taxes are very small and I think she pays them.

Once her tree fell on a neighbor's car and that's how we found out she didn't own home insurance.  After that SIL started lobbying for paying for her home insurance.  She also pays for MIL's cell phone.  And we buy all the major items for MIL - TV, lawn mower, computer, etc.

MIL hardly ever asks for anything directly, I don't know if she's doing it through SIL. SIL is always lobbying for big ticket items for MIL - storage shed, new fence, new refrigerator, etc, etc. They're usually camouflaged as Bday gifts, Christmas gifts, Mother's day gifts, etc.  Buying a new siding for an entire house is an expensive Mother's day gift, and already gave flowers and a card.

SIL herself doesn't have any family and makes a decent living.  We don't have as much disposable income to throw around.[/quote]

You can not afford to do this..so...get over the guilt and tell them that you can not afford it.

Seems like doing this would put financial strain on your house hold thereby maybe putting you all in a similar situation.  So, what happens if you finance MIL household and something happens in your house?  Who is going to come to your rescue?[/quote]
