[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My ILs always refused to get a rental when they visited.

Wanted to drive our cars while they are here. I refused because I know my FIL is an AWFUL driver. We drove them everywhere.

The one time I was out of town, my H let them drive and FIL rammed my car into the back of our garage. They didn't pay or apologize or anything. Just matter of fact "FIL ran into the garage."

They will never drive our cars again, and we now refuse to be their personal chauffers as once we had kids it became two much for the 2 weeks they visit, so they have rented cars the last 3 years as a result.[/quote]

My IL's are not well off.  They could be but they are terrible with money and have bought into a lot of scams. They just don't learn. Most recently, they were "helping someone with college"  they have never met this "someone" she apparently was from Africa studying in the US.  But it's their money. My MIL is "retired" although they really couldn't afford for her to retire so she makes gourmet meals for an elderly couple where they live. I know she probably makes about $100 off of them a month by the time she factors in her time and all the gluten free and organic things she uses.  FIL will be working until he is 75 years old according to them.  They never rent a car when they visit as they always expect us to take them with us, and it's worked out because I have a mini van.  While, I'm fine letting it go, it really just rubbed me the wrong way.  My parents always rent a car when they visit because according to my Dad if any thing happens, it's a rental and he will deal with it and no hurt feelings.  [/quote]
