Mixing Business with Family

Beebee

Would you do it?

In this situation, my SIL is moving together to her in-laws house and need some work done. They have asked my fiance to do a cost estimate (but not so expensive) he's says he'll do it for his sister sake but going to remain fair. The issue is his sister is a user and cheapskate. She only comes around when she needs something. She even had the decency last yr for her wedding to ask her Brother to be her photographer, because she was so cheap to get one. Instead of letting him enjoy her wedding.

They've had numerous arguments because she's selfish. And her Brother-in law had a big birthday bash and had the nerve to ask my fiance to be a helper at the bar instead of inviting him. I try to stay out of it and even though my fiance has boiled out of anger with his sister, I remind him it's his sister just remain neutral even though these type of behaviour is disrespectful. When I got engaged they even asked me if it was a real diamond. I'm like WTF?

Anywho, I think that when it's time to get the house renovated, it'll take a lot out of his time and knowing how they are they will try to squeeze extra stuff for him to do. I know he's a big guy and he'll put his foot down but the thought alone pisses me off that they try to use every opportunity they get.

Out of experience from my side of the family, and numerous other incidents it's never a good idea to mix business with family.
