[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, some of y'all are shady af. If OP didn't say she was white and inlaw was Hispanic, y'all would absolutely be telling her she has no obligation pay for them, WHICH SHE DOESN'T.

I understand OP. My family is South Asian and when there are certain major expenses back home, we get phone calls for help with expenses. I'm talking from second, third cousins, not just main family members. Sometimes we help, sometimes we don't. It's MY money and if I wanted to give $0, within my right too. [/quote]

If OP had not mentioned race (which was an unnecessary detail) the responses would be totally different.

OP, your response is totally correct, btw.[/quote]

Disagree. Race puts things in perspective. Different cultures have different ideas and boundaries about money. Some cultures have a lot of groupthink and enmeshment. (What is yours is mine mentality). Other cultures do not discuss money and it would be taboo to come begging for it. There is a difference behavior between socioeconomic class also.[/quote]

New poster and I agree with this. Reminds me of Asuelu on 90 Day Fiancé. You’re on point about enmeshment. Very unhealthy and bizarre. It’s worse when you’re from such a culture and also we’re raised poor like I have. My mom used to call me for money and it only stopped when I no longer picked up her calls.[/quote]
