[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP,

I am #1 in my family.  My parents have been supporting #2 and family for years.  Neither of them is employed at the same time for more than a year or so.  They regularly quit jobs because they don't like the job...and my parents continue to support them.  The killing thing about it is the double standard that is at play now and has been at play all my life.  My parents think #2 and spouse cannot support themselves.  They can, just not to my parents' satisfaction.  My parents are quite wealthy and #2 and spouse make a max of $110/120 combined after 10 plus years in the work force.  Of course, they keep quitting jobs and going anywhere from 4 months to over a year without working.  My parents just simply don't expect #2 and spouse to support themselves.

[b]Let #2 live on his $40k.  Stop paying his bills.  Stop bailing him out.  You can tell him that you and your husband are funding pre-paid college education plans.  That way their kids' education will be secure.[/b]     [/quote]

Didn't PP already buy his condo?  So he has no mortgage or rent, no student loan debt, and no private school tuition because I'm certain that OP bought a condo in a nice part of town with excellent public schools.  He could live on $40K if he had to, with all of that out of the way. [/quote]
