[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  DH is suggesting that I use the 34k annual gift I get  from my parents towards the new house in perpetuity.  It really irks me that he's suggesting this while refusing to consider using any of his inheritance and any of our joint savings for a new house.  I don't think I'm being crazy here for being pissed off about this.  Maybe I should just spend the money on jewelry, spa vacations, hand bags, etc. just for myself rather than on something that would benefit the family if he refuses to spend on anything that would actually, you know, improve his kids' quality of life.

I completely understand where you are coming from. You are putting the immediate family first and he is not. This is typical of how women think vs men. [/quote]

Please don’t enable this rotten woman.  DH is the only person even considering his brother’s future - OP is annoyed because she wants a bigger house than they can afford with marital assets.  BFD.[/quote]

The issue is bigger than this. OP wants to feel her dh has financial skin in the game to the extent she does. [/quote]

Which they can do using their money from their jobs and equity from their house.  If OP doesn’t want to use her annual gift of 34k that is 100% her prerogative, but her husband is not obligated to use the inheritance to buy a bigger/nicer house than they can afford themselves.

[b]What irks me the most about OP is her utter lack of gratitude for being in such a privileged financial situation to begin with[/b].[/quote]

Eh. It is what it is. No need to display humility here to appease posters who are offended by generational wealth.

OP wants a certain lifestyle for her family and that is OK. [/quote]

Then she can EARN it.[/quote]
