Based on your posts, you are reasonable. And not selfish.

Don’t let the Internet idealists convince you otherwise. If you are so easily convinced, that is a bigger issue. It is one thing to weigh all sides. Another to make a 180.

Life is not fantasy. It is real. And people have to make tough decisions. Stale and standard cliches about parents having brought us up etc are just that. Of course they did. And they shoukd wish their children the best. And not just take advantage of their generosity. Build your life. Live it. And make decisions as an adult. And not because someone in the Internet called you selfish.

25 years later, unless ur husband’s siblings r angels, all this generosity will be conveniently forgotten.

I uess the sarcasm wasn’t as obvious as I thought it was lol
And I have no ill feelings towards my in-laws. They are wonderful peopla nd have always been kind to me. I think they just exect a lot form myhusband. He’s the eldest, so they expect him to shoulder all his siblings’ responsibilities. To be perfectly clear, they are all well settled with good jobs, but his parents still expect him to do a lot for them all. My husband being the good son, does not want to disappoint so he does everything they ask and more. I don’t think they realize how much of a toll it sometimes takes on our finances and the hubby would never reveal it to them. It’s not my place to say anythihng of this to them because that would just create more tension that none of us need.
