[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Omg. We support my mom and I think it’s just the right thing to do because she is struggling and we are not. But she is literally poor,  we give her only 400 dollars a month, and our HHI is 725K.

When I read the title I thought “you should support them” but no, I changed my mind. No. They can live in a smaller place! I would put my foot down for sure, OP. [/quote]

OP’s DH is ridiculous but so are you. You could easily afford to triple that amount to get her out of poverty. Cheapo [/quote]

DP but maybe this is what's needed. My father helped my mother's sisters and mother in a similar manner, knowing small amounts add up and it was several people asking for handouts. Also, my mother had been bullied mercilessly by her mother and siblings when she was little, so there wasn't exactly any love lost. My parents weren't going to significantly impact their bottom line for these people. You don't know this poster's family circumstances. Don't immediately jump to conclusions.
