[quote=Anonymous]I don't know why, but this situation is really getting under my skin.  Your dh is acting like he's in a financial unit with his parents, instead of with you.  I'm kind of horrified he told his parents that he was okay with it before even discussing it with you, and then tried to argue that this was somehow the same thing as lending your brother $2k to buy a beater car.

Good fences make good neighbors.  This comingling of y'all's money with his parent's money breaks healthy boundaries.  Are they religious at all?  You could find a lot of bible stuff against debt like this from Dave Ramsey and others.

I just have the sense they're trying to run roughshod over you, and that dh and FIL think their mba/lawyer credentials make them smarter than everyone else and they'll just poo-poo your concerns.   If you want more backup arguments, I'd meet with a tax guy to go over all the tax implications of such a deal.   Though honestly, I'd probably just outright refuse to do it at all, no further backup needed.  Hill to die on here. [/quote]
