[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 -[b] they want it to stay in the family.[/b]   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]

She is in the family now.  It doesn't imply that OP thinks there's a chance of a split.  It implies that the parents are drawing a line of separation and that the OP will never feel complete ownership of her house with this ridiculous clause.  If the parents don't want to give to both of them, then they should keep the money themselves.[/quote]
