[quote=Anonymous][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. [b] 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.  [/b]If the parents don't want to give to both of them, then they should keep the money themselves.[/quote]

Excellent point. [/quote]
