Now that is slightly wrong, how can you expect a man to forget his family just for his wife. They should be at equal levels. So if his parents get ill and need to have expensive treatments, would you not let him do it because it will put a strain on your lifestyle.

You need to pay attention to all the posts that relates to my comment instead of picking out that one line. I wrote that specific line in reference to a situaion where the man is supporting his parents/adult sisters out of “obligation” and NOT b/c the parents/sisters don’t have the money.

In the scenario you described, if the parents need expensive treatments and the parents have their own money that can pay for it…then yes, I see no reason why the parents can’t pay for their own treatment if they have the money to do it. BUT if the parents are poor and do not have the money to pay for their own treatments…then of course I’d support my husband in giving them money.

If a husband wants to support his parents b/c they truly need it and do not have the money to support themselves…that’s understandable. Howwever, if a man wants to spend his income on his parents b/c he feels an “obligation”…even though his parents have their own money and are capable of supporting themselves…then yes, I’d have a problem with that b/c I’d rather have that money go towards our own children’s education and towards our own retirement/savings account.
