We're paying for the wedding ourselves ( a little help from my parents) bc she's mad that when she called me and her daughter cheap, I said no we just don't feel obligated to support your son like you do. Ever since then the talking has been minimal.
** the premise of said conversation was her brother tried to get us to buy ****ty insurance off him that was nearly twice what I pay and her mother thought I should bc he's family.
Sounds like my wife's family...her parents enable both my brother and sister-in-law's bad decisions. Brother-in-law has only held a job for a maximum of about 6 months since HS, and he didn't graduate HS he had to have the army help him get a G(ood) E(nough) D(iploma). He has a kid that he has only seen maybe 3 times in 6 years, and is always begging for money.
My sister-in-law had 3 kids ranging from 14 years to 1 year with 3 different guys. Only one of the guys was she married to, and her 2nd kid is from a guy that she cheated on her 1st husband with. She has also been married 3 times and engaged 2 other times. She also believes everyone owes her and is always taking handouts from mom/dad.
My wife is the only normal person in the family, my wife gets along better with my mom and dad than her parents and while both of our sets of parents live within 3 miles of us we see my parents 10x more often.
