[quote=Anonymous]OP, both of your inlaws are responsible here. Both of them. Your FIL has/had agency, he saw and paid those credit card bills every month, he knew, FOR YEARS.

1) it is THEIR money. Just because she was a SAHM doesn't mean it wasn't joint money. This really bugs me. They were a team. Is she bad with money? Sounds like a yes. Should she have had free reign to get so far in debt. Sounds like a definite no. But she spent their money.

2). FIL gets no free pass because he just does nothing to stop it. Doing nothing is also a choice. Be made this choice. He knew. She didn't open secret credit cards and rack up secret debt. So stop saying she did this all by herself or that she is more to blame.And it looks like the 20 something sisters are just as bad, can't pay their bills, don't have good jobs.

3) don't give them ANY money. NONE. I've BTDT with my own family. I learned the hard way. it won't work, They will keep asking over and over again. Learn from me. It is their problem.

Honestly they should declare bankruptcy.[/quote]
