[quote=Anonymous]Do her a favor and sit her down to have a big girl conversation. You can compliment her on finding a nice guy who’s hopefully going to have a good job, but telling her how she should set them up for much more success by contributing financially now because it’s a mature decision. She should start working and buying things for her house. She can offset weddings costs - buy a dress, etc. She is sponging and you all are not just allowing, but encouraging it! Basically you - and she- need to consider her and her fiancé as their own family and separate them from your family. They should be out doing their own things on weekends, not attached to yours. Fine for some weekend bbqs or something, but she is not your responsibility. [/quote]
