[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^^I am skyways amazed at the tunnel vision of women on this board. Op's mil is of another generation where women do not pursue caterers in the way women do today. Op is holding her mil accountable for choices consistent with her time. Compassion and understanding seem yo be jacking in today's women. Pretty sad.[/quote] OP's MIL is 59. As a 55yo, I can assure you that women in my generation could and did pursue careers. Like OP, I make more money than my DH does. And we save aggressively for retirement, and have fully funded college funds. OP, in your shoes I would talk to your DH about the situation and agree on what you will and will not do. I would feel as you do, FWIW. Also, FWIW, my own ILs are very working-class but have planned and saved for retirement. They are 86 yo now and as far as we know, secure. What does your DH think?[/quote]
