[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He is actively looking for another job but I know how it ends. In 6 months we will be right back here. They have way too much pride to live in a smaller place. I know stupid but we've tried to have that talk even when he had his job. He recently made some lavish expenses that my dh and I could only dream of buying once our kids are out of college and on their own. I just want to not deal with it. My family isn't like this and its so foreign to me [/quote]

Your family may not be like this for this issue but I promise you your family has something your DH  finds boggling. Do not approach this from a my family does this so much better angle. All you will do is alienate DH . Approach it as the team you are his family is your family. You want to help them, but in a way that actually helps.  Not just a short term fix. You will never get your FIl to admit any part to his job loss issues. That's not your concern he doesn't owe it to you so strike it from your to do list. Approach DH with practical ways to help your in laws. PPs offered great tips. Be firm in the financial boundaries you want to set, but don't be heartless. You may want to consult an advisor to help you figure out a way to do this.[/quote]
