[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DH broke the lawnmower. My parents were driving to my town one weekend, so I also asked my father if he could check the mower. I am a SAHM. I gave him $60 dollars to fix it.

My parents drove today to bring the mower back and asked to cover their gas and handed me a $45 receipt. I refused to give them anything. I thought they were helping me since I’m their daughter.

My in-laws do things for my family and never charge us. Heck, my MIL is even putting me through school right now!

Do I have the right to hate my parents’ for this? When I was employed, wrote $1000 for for father’s dental work. I reminded them of that. I hate that they are nickel and diming me for gas money and $45 spare parts!

Thanks for letting me vent.[/quote]

Let your in laws fix your lawn mower.[/quote]

MIL actually offered her repairman but[b] I thought my side of the family could actually contribute[/b].[/quote]

WHAAAATT???  Why should either family have "to contribute"?  You and your husband need to untie those apron strings and learn to do for yourselves. I cannot believe that you are not embarrassed and ashamed about the fact that you and your husband require so much financial support.  In fact, you sound quite proud of it.  Wow.  And your disrespect towards your parents is appalling.[/quote]
