[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok OP, so this means you will provide childcare for your children when you retire? Of course you don't owe her anything. That said, how does your husband feel? If it were my parents I would be mad at my spouse for expecting tit for tat.[/quote] Not only will I happily care for my grandkids, but also I will help my daughter financially. My MIL gave her kids the bare minimum. I believe I owe my kids far more and if I can't help, I will at least not turn myself into another dependent. DH knows I would be justified not to even speak to MIL after the way she has talked about and to me, among other things. I have been so unfailingly polite and kind to her that he can't ask me to empty my pockets on top of it. The comment I mentioned in my first post was my way of letting MIL know for the first time in advance so that she can look to whatever Plan B is. If DH hadn't married a high earner, MIL and FIL would still grow old, wouldn't they? -OP[/quote]
