[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't imagine supporting a MIL who never wanted to work and didn't work for a decade after kids left the house. [/quote]

This is OP. This is how I feel. She is very entitled and refuses to go work as she thinks it is beneath her. He also has a sister who loves to mooch off her brother for bonus money.[/quote]

I'm married to a guy from a poor family who doesn't make much.  I'm the breadwinner and I'm fine with that.  But what you describe above would really piss me off.  My DH's parents are poor but proud and they manage to live very frugally and simply without financial help from their 4 kids apart from the occasional gift.  If they or my other inlaws were moochers, our marriage would be really tough.  [/quote]

I would need to know more.  The parents could have had unforeseen health and job problems, really depends. Parents support their children and do a lot, I would think it should also go the other way when they need help.[/quote]

NP. It doesn't sound like these parents need help. Sounds like they need to work. I agree with helping parents, but not at the expense of the next generation, and only during emergencies. These sound like 2 able bodied parents.[/quote]
