  • Ugh..dh holds on to money (1k) for his mom so she can have funds available when she needs them (for food, bills, trips, ect). His no good mooching sibs know this and are constantly asking the mother for money. His sis bugged her so much last yr that his mom said yes to loan her the 1k. His sis took 1 yr to pay it back and never with interest (as she was supposed). In the meantime when MIL needed money, we had to front her money because her dd hadn't given any of it back. NOW that the money was paid back 2 mo ago, his sis once again wants to borrow the 1k. My dh told his mother NO..that money is there for YOU and YOUR expenses or emergencies. His mom is old and gets guilted into things. His mom said but it's my money. DH said yes it is but she is taking advantage and you aren't a bank. ALSO when you lend your money out I have to give you money in the meantime which I really can't afford...so your money will stay in the bank for you only. His sis is pissed with dh.

    • ^^^ when you lend it out to your dd and you need it for your bills, I have to give it to you and I don't have it. I can't knowingly let you lend her the money and I won't be able to pay your own expenses until she decides to pay you back. His sis is pissed at him

        • np: my cousins are like that. My aunt is always bailing out her kids, both of whom are more than 50yo. Now one of those cousins is mooching off her daughter, who doesn't have much money and who just had her own baby and is living in a one bedroom with her dh.

    • DH should either get a power of attorney (if mil is really unable to take care of her finances) or step out of this power struggle altogether.

      • op: true...he has her money since she can't take care of her finances for the most part but he won't stop trying to protect his mother from the ther sibs who never visit and just call when they want cash
