I know MIL doesn't approve that I SAH, even though she did and her daughter does. I know it's because DH doesn't make a ton of money (about 130). I just think that I'd rather be home and sacrifice vacations and etc. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

i know it does, that's why i don't say anything to DH about it. unfortunately, it's not like we can't take their money. Even if we had that option, we'd use it for something else. The money is in DH's name, it is a trust account [ Reply | More ]

she probably thinks that her son is taking on too big of a burden. she either doesnt care that her SIL is or he makes more money. $130K is not a lot of money in the NY area but if you and DH are ok with this then she needs ot MHOB [ Reply | More ]

SIL's husband is a IB so he makes a ton of money. i am sure she is worried because DH is not that successful. we are not saving a lot, but we are able to squeak by. we are hoping to buy a house that will keep us comfortable. [ Reply | More ]
