[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m the SIL in this situation. DH’s parents are wealthy, mine are broke. I have no interest in giving extravagant gifts to either my in laws (they’re already rich!) or my parents. I have a lot of anxiety around money and just want us to be stable and invest wisely in case at some point we really *need* to help a parent. DH also comes from a culture where kids lavish their parents. Oh freaking well. [b]Not all cultural traditions are good[/b]. [/quote] This!!! I'm so sick of hearing people on this board justifying toxic behavior because of "culture." [/quote] +100 unfortunately people are so entrenched in these cultures they can't see beyond them. At least OP is asking for advice. I do wish people would be more specific about the culture, as that would help unravel some issues. [/quote]
