Re: Loosing the plot! Had it enough!!
I doubt that strategy would work; I suspect it may backfire on her big time. She doesn’t share a good equation with her in-laws. If you read her last thread about her FIL and the the time he came to stay with them, you’ll get an idea. My guess is that if she were to speak to them, they’d take offense to it and complain to their son that, “your wife doesn’t want you giving us a single penny.”
