[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I’d be upset if I were you too. [b]It’s a slight against your parents. [/b]

Putting that aside, does your DH really want a $25k car parked in your driveway all day? If he is a car snob, I can’t see how he wouldn’t be “ashamed” of that.

Also consider: if you just bought the car you want for your parents, what would happen?

Final thought: I’m a bit grossed out by his negative feelings for when you treat your financially struggling / single parent friends. His stinginess is not a very attractive human trait. He should consider working on that. I know you’re probably not inclined to bring it up, but I hope you do. And I hope your family donates a commensurate amount to charities too. [/quote]

Serious question, do you feel that every person is obligated to give their relatives the exact same standard of living that they have for themselves? Where does this end? Do you have to buy them a house? Is this for aunts and uncles too, cousins, everyone?[/quote]

The level of entitlement is ridiculous.  Huge difference between no taking care of your IL or relatives versus providing the lap of luxury for them. [/quote]
