[quote=Anonymous]No, my husband is well aware of the situation. He has no problem with them paying for these things. He just doesn't agree that they need to part of our budget. He's kind of like 'well either they help us or they help your less deserving siblings so it might as well be us.' I wouldn't divorce my husband because he won't pay for a house cleaner. Break up a whole family over that? That's insane! I think the point is that often getting this sort of help can end up feeling divisive -- situations where parents buy or help pay for the house, but then think of it as the husband's house rather than the wife's house, or pay for a vacation but the husband picks the destination, etc. It's kind of like having three people in the marriage. And usually there's nothing secretive about it -- both partners are aware that there are these things going on, but then they have to work out how they feel about it. [/quote]
