[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't believe how many people are upset about this.  It makes perfect sense and shouldn't be considered insulting.  I'd be insulted if my DIL got her panties in a wad over this.  It's his family's money - they want it to stay in the family.   And it implies you think there's a chance you'll split.  I mean, if you're SO sure you'll stay together forever, take the money, sign their agreement and live happily ever after.

And In the case of divorce,  what's the big deal?  They give you $50k for a down payment on a $500,000 house.  in 5 years, you guys split, the house is worth $800,000 - you sell the house you get $350, he gets $450.  Seriously, why get so bent out of shape over this?  [/quote]

They gave the BIL the money outright, without strings.  They should do the same for their other son, OP's husband.  OP IS a member of their family now yet they are treating her like an outsider.  You probably don't get it because you also see your DIL as an outsider.
