[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't imagine supporting a MIL who never wanted to work and didn't work for a decade after kids left the house. [/quote]

This is OP. This is how I feel. She is very entitled and refuses to go work as she thinks it is beneath her. He also has a sister who loves to mooch off her brother for bonus money.[/quote]

This will become a Very Big Problem for you, very very fast.[/quote]

+1 So this guy is supporting his mother who thinks work is beneath her, his sister who just likes to have extra cash on hand, and his father who has retired early for what reason?

On the one hand, he sounds generous and that's a lovely quality - I understand why you'd love that. On the other, more practical, hand - finances are the #1 reason for divorce for a reason. When you are trying pay off those student loans, to save up for a down payment on a house, to put real money into your kids' 529s, to save for your own retirement, you are going to look at your accounts and feel overwhelming resentment that your family is going without in order to subsidize able-bodied adults who simply prefer to live off your husband. When you can't afford your own maternity leave while you are medically incapacitated, but are footing the bill for your healthy ILs, you will be furious. [/quote]
