[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pity her that she can't function as an adult and is basically a leech.[/quote]

This, OP.
And pity the man she marries, and their future kids/family life because of you think that those things they bought don't come with strings attached, sit back and watch the show. This is the typical set up for overbearing MIL, too much criticism and input on your parenting, forced vacations, forced visits, and drama.
You will be able to gracefully bow out of the 10 day vacation in a 2 bedroom condo with age inappropriate outings without a care. Your SIL will be dragging a fuming husband and crying kids because they paid for the down payment on their first house and she can't say no.
[b]They will also live with her in their old age since they help with mortgage and put that brand new sun porch on.[/b]

+1 It should be no surprise to them when their son is not willing to wipe their asses in their old age.

I get it, OP. It's not about the money per se. It's hard to see someone you love treated unfairly and have it rubbed in his face. It's just cruel on all accounts. It sounds like he's come to terms with it and knows things won't change. It's difficult, but you'll have to do the same, or it will drive you crazy. [/quote]
