[quote=Anonymous]I agree with others OP. Don't say "flyover country" The only variable that matters is bad publics, and maybe that the family doesn't see the value.

DH and I helped his sister escape living in a bad neighborhood (and a move her kids to a great school district) this way. You could gift the money to the in laws as needed, but it would avoid the pitfalls of sibling competition if your in laws can see the wisdom in this. my DH is so proud and happy with how is nieces and nephews are doing and has no plans ever to share where the money came from.
