          Well, sometimes people are just strange, right? My SIL whom is 10 years OLDER than me, wants my hubby to pay her phone bill… because she stays with my MIL in MIL house and take care of MIL, and it’s a way to repay her "hardship". She is a private banker.

              your SIL just want to make use of her brother (yr husb) to pay the house phone bills. a bit too much !

              is it just phone bills ?
              how about water, electricity, PUB bills, grocery bills, etc ?

                  Sometimes, there are some agreements among siblings especially the elderly parents stay in whose house.


                  Let’s say there are 3 siblings. Elderly parents stay with 1st sibling, 2nd and 3rd siblings have to contribute. There are expenses such as maid to take care of elderly, medical billls/ injections, transport to and fro dialysis centre or hospital, special diet, etc. All these have to be agreed upon. Definitely 1st sibling will get tax rebate under ‘staying with parents’ amount $3000 or $2000?

                  Must think of how our parents sacrifice for us when we were young. Why so calculative?

                    Not everyone think the same way, thats why we have issue like mentioned above . If everyone think the same, there would be no arguments anymore.

                        And sometimes we don wan to put our own husband in a difficult position too. My SIL will complain and make a huge hoohaa in front of everyone saying that my PIL are biased because my DH and I have 2 boys and theirs is a girl. my PIL are very fair people and I dont understand why my SIL wants to do that, whatever my PIL buy for my 2 boys, they will buy for her daughter too and honestly, I love her daughter very much because I dont have a daughter myself and have always been hoping for one. So I will also buy things for her whenever I am out shopping. And she can say that because I feel guilty. OMG....
