[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your parents are so helpful, why don’t they help you with money for a house?  Your husband’s concerns about his brother are very valid.[/quote]

OP here.  They have already helped us with the down payment on my current house.  I could ask them for money from a trust for the next house, but because they are very fair people, they would also insist on making distributions of the same amount to my brothers.  I don't really want them to do that--mainly because one brother has a serious gold digger wife who is also abusive and the infusions of cash over the years have only serve to keep her in the marriage.[/quote]

Do you even listen to yourself? Your posts are all about how much you are going to inherit and what other people should or shouldn’t do with their money. What about your and DH’s own jobs and own money? Why would you move somewhere where you can’t afford a house on your own without the help of an inheritance?

I can’t figure out whether your husband wants to keep this money for his BIL or just to not commingle it, but either way it belongs to him and it’s totally valid for him to choose not to share it. I’d do the same thing. No matter how great your marriage is, everyone has to look out for themselves. [/quote]
