[quote=Anonymous]I absolutely agree with folks that say that you should help, but holding a firm line, but within the family budget. I'm not so much liking the"if DH doesn't like it, he should get a higher paying job" comments (by PPs, OP didn't say this). People in a marriage earn different amounts of money, and for different reasons-- education, parenting responsibilities, etc. No, the person who has the higher income does not get to call all the financial shots, because it's your (plural) money and you plural need to maKe joint decisions on major financial issues. If OP was a SAHM and was posting that her DH would not "let" her help her parents, I'm betting there wouldn't be many "we'll get a job" comments, and that any comments of this nature would be met with outrage. (BTW, how do you know DH doesn't earn less because he works PT or at a less demanding job and is the primary parent)?[/quote]
