[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks everyone. DH is not quitting his job. With the financial support he will be taking two classes a time instead of one. I really do hope this helps him career wise, but he was dead set on doing his last graduate program and now he is unhappy with the results. I think I have grounds to be dubious about this.

DH was unemployed for a period of almost two years when DS was a newborn, and it took him almost another year to get a solid full time job. I drained down most of the savings I had accumulated to support us during this time.

DH's parents have done some charming things with money. They sold his childhood home to his sister in a sweetheart deal right when we were buying our house and did not offer us any support. We ended up using an FHA loan which was ridiculous.

What has been more hurtful is their lack of involvement with DS. I have invited them to every birthday, etc., which they never attend, and my MIL in particular has made minimal effort. I thought we had both agreed that anything that we would receive from them should be kept for DS's benefit, so I am surprised DH went to them for this.

I hope this does benefit DH, but I think my entire situation in my marriage with DH and my in-laws stinks.

You are completely out of line OP. They provide for THEIR children, you provide for yours.

If you couldn’t take care of DS yourself with your DH then maybe you should have reconsidered him as a spouse because it sounds like you thought your well-off ILs would be financing your lifestyle. No that’s for you and your DH to do.[/quote]
