[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]OP, these situations become more complicated when there are siblings. If the other siblings have contributed, then it doesn't seem like your DH can refuse this first request, though that doesn't mean it is unconditional. [/quote]

lol yes you can. Just because your siblings are enabling mom to waste money doesn’t mean you have to. If your siblings don’t like it, let them seethe.[/quote]

I still think this is complicated. If me, I would be thinking about the siblings' angle as well as the parent. Ideally OP's DH and the siblings can have a rational discussion on how to proceed.

But OP and DH need to get on the same page before the sibling conversation. They need to figure out their boundaries together, then he should talk with his siblings.[/quote]

The siblings together spent, according to OP, ~$200k on MIL, without consulting OP's husband.  They felt no obligation to discuss it first, and OP and her DH should feel no compunction to follow a plan they had no part in selecting.  Don't be ridiculous.  [/quote]
