[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No we won't ever be completely estranged.  Older kid has a wonderful husband who doesn't share her entitlement attitude and expects nothing in return. He will always stay in touch.  The older daughter has been married for some years.   The husband is so gracious.  He will spend hours helping me with various projects which I know makes older daughter mad.  Older daughter has young kids and both work full time and privately complains to DW that he doesn't have the time to help but feels bad about saying no.  She will often call after he's been helping for a few hours with excuses with why her husband needs to come home.  I mean he only spends about 20 hours a year helping us and I'm getting older with back problems.[/quote]
You do realize that "wonderful husband" is only biting his tongue for his wife's sake so that she still has a relationship with her mother.

OP, you sound like a selfish twat. I don't expect you to give them thousands of dollars, but your financial decisions and attitude (you called one daughter a "major problem"!) are just god awful. You threw a lavish wedding and couldn't help your young kid trying to make her way in life with a dress that YOU made her wear? F'ing ridiculous. [/quote]

She and her husband make a similiar income to us and we had a ton of wedding expenses.  Neither of our parents helped out with the wedding and they are all alive.  I would never expect to be a groomsman and not pay for the outfit.  It was 150 dollars and she was a spoiled sport about the whole thing. [/quote]
