Why is it that people ussually start going crazy over the holiday's? My inlaws keep complaining that they dont have money to pay for my sil's studies next year and they cant buy groceries or pay the electicity for the month but they can go on vacation for 5weeks in Cape Town... They have the cheek to ask their son for money for their nesesities even though they know that I am unimployed and that his salary isnt very big. I had to ask my mother for money to buy milk and diapers ect. for my 3 month old because my mother and father inlaw manipulates their son out of all of his money... I wish I could send them on retirement in the middle of the ocean for the rest of their lives so that we can take care of our daughter the way we are supposed to. It isnt fair that my parent have to borrow me money to feed my daughter just because my inlaws cant run a decent budget !

OMG...are we married to the same man?!?! We have to be becuase that's his parents!!! We have a 5 month old and they have still expect him to financially help them! They were this way before hand and still are this way. He moved AWAY from them and they followed him (from a whole other city). They moved in with him and paid only a small portion of the rent when they had brought FIVE children with them. When we moved in together they called him "Judas" and said they still expected him to help BUT then they take trips for their "anniversary" and then expected us to take in their children. Ask for money but buy cows, horses, dogs, etc for their "ranch"...are you joking?! Will brag about all the property they own but can't buy their kids (younger ones) Christmas presents. OMG...like I'm sooo sorry you have to go through this but I'm so glad I'm not the only one who may end up on the news for losing it with these people :-P

People do the craziest things over the holidays. They go shopping and get ticked off when there are lineups...well guess what? ITs the holidays and its to be expected.

It is not fair for you and your husband to help support your inlaws. You have bills to pay and a baby to feed. You should talk to your hushand and tell him what is going on in your mind. Don't let it fester its not worth it. IF your inlaws can afford a 5 week trip to Cape Town then they can afford to pay there own bills. If money is tight for them then they should be going on a 5 week vacation! Bills and food should come before fun stuff. Well thats the way I see it.
