Mother In Law Relationship Issue
5 Answers
Hi
I have a tricky mother in law relationship issue. For more than 4 years I have supported my mother in law on demand with all sorts of things:
1. Detailed financial advice
2. House buying
3. Moving house
4. Computer (IT) support
5. Holidays
6. etc
At times this has required many hours. She thanks me every time but on several occasions has disregarded my advice and then got into trouble, asked for help in a semi panicked state without acknowledging that she should have followed my advice. Apparently she is the same with other people…
How is it best to deal with this? On the one hand I want to help but I have very little time and I don’t want it thrown back in my face again… My wife just thinks I should help whatever the circumstances
Thanks

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Yes as long as it doesn't dip deeply into your pockets then help out. She will probably never change but it will keep her and your wife happy. She probably isn't actually throwing it back in your face but unable to think rationally and does unadvised things on the spur of the moment. Im sure she is truly grateful.
