DH sister is uber rich. She is sometimes generous, but not often. This annoys me. DH is a public servant. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

huh, I make a ton of dough and my sister doesn't. But she continues, into her early thirties, to be semi-supported by my dad. She also chose the job she chose, knowing the $$. I did the same. I don't owe her anything, and to be totally honest, neither does my dad but supports her anyway! [ Reply | More

OP - Nobody helps us and I wouldn't expect anyone to hand us money. But she sees her brother drives a clunker. Why not surprise him. She is probably a billionaire. [ Reply | More

Sounds like you do expect someone to hand you money. If he really wants a new car and wants her to help, why not ask her? [ Reply | More

it's your SIL's choice whether she wants to be generous or not. also, your DH could have been an IBer or a Big Law-yer. His choice. If you want a lot of money, make sure your second husband is rich. [ Reply | More

you think that she should just give her brother money? why? i don't get this attitude. everyone makes choices in life. and maybe your husband doesn't need to feel emasculated by his sister (which is how i would feel if she were "taking care of" me). maybe you should have married her husband (or, if she's the one earning the money, her) [ Reply | More
