Re: mother in law
I remember being told that I should make a different account and put some money in their every month and not touch it till its really needed.
Good tip is to not tell your husband
Re: mother in law
kakee I like your idea about putting some money every month in an account which we cant touch. I will talk to the bank about it so before pulling any money from the account they have to get both our signature.
Re: mother in law
Isn't that sad?
:(
Extremely sad! I'm not married yet but I hope I can take care of both my parents and his without these problems. My parents don't have daughters so it would have to be us sisters and our husbands that would take care of them. I wouldn't want my husband to start having a problem with me helping or even just taking care of them (non-financially).

Re: mother in law
well i think you should stay quite and let your husband deal with this issue the way he wants to. It's his money and it's his mom. I'm sure your husband will eventually say no to his mom or at least put a limit on how much he sends when he sees no savings after working so hard. And there are chances that the more you insist on not sending the money, your husband might probably go against you. Plus you might wanna think of making changes to your bank accounts, for example , put a limit or make a separate savings account for your and your husband's future savings and you control it.
Its not his money.
Re: mother in law
Its not his money.
Why be-labour this point?
Let's say it IS his money. Even so....it is also his responsibility to take care of his family's needs. And when those needs conflict or clash with the needs of his mother then it is his responsibility to make a wise and equitable decision on the matter.
