[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no culture in the world where brothers being responsible for their sister means that they have to provide her with a life of luxury. It means they need to make sure that her basic needs are met - food, a place to sleep, that sort of thing.

OP, tell your DH that you are not okay with him spending money you don’t have, so his sister can live a lifestyle she cannot afford. [/quote]

You realize it also depends on their socioeconomic status, right?  The sister wouldn't have asked if this wasn't possible at all - in fact, the other brother kinda agreed. So there is that. It doesn't mean it's right. OP doesn't have to like it or agree to sign up for it. But this stuff exists. What you said above is a very primitive generalization.  Think about it - if Ivanka were to divorce and not have enough money, and if her brothers agreed to chip in to help out, do you think they'd get her a studio apartment and a loaf of bread? [/quote]

Please go back and reread about OP's financial situation, you flippin' moron.  [/quote]
