Mil problems

Bethany

To start off my mil bought a house a couple of years ago. The people she bought the house from left the refrigerator and now it has went out. My husband and I had given her the one that we used for our garage a couple month back and she stored it in her garage so when the one she has goes out. Well today she asked my husband to go put it in her house. But then my brother in law asked us to go with him to look for a refrigerator with it (assuming we would help buy) we told him that she already has one that we gave her but he told us that she said she wants a brand new one because the one we gave her is old. (4 years old) and she can’t afford to buy a new refrigerator so she expects her kids to buy it. Mind you I’m 23 weeks pregnant so any money extra we have I would like to go to the baby or bills. Btw she moved in when I was pregnant with my first for 6 months rent free didn’t help pay bills or food. And when I got pregnant with my second her basement flooded so she has all of her kids including us buy her a new furnace. What are your thoughts? I don’t want to help put money in since she has one we gave her that’s just not good enough for her.

Tell her you’re not going to give her money for a new refrigerator but if she doesn’t like the one you already gave her she’s welcome to sell it and put the sale money towards a new one as your husbands contribution. 😊

That’s what my husband wanted to do, sell her the one we gave her but I told him we could really use that money to pay bills or summer clothes for my two kids.

She should really just be thankful she got a free fridge, especially since she can’t afford a new one. The fact that that’s not good enough for her would really irritate me. Then wants you to help pay for a new one? I wouldn’t go in on the new one unless the one you gave her has some major problems or something. But even still, to just expect you to do this, I wouldn’t. 🤦🏻‍♀️

The one my husband and I gave her has zero problems, it’s perfectly fine. I’m very bothered by it especially since we already put money in for a brand new furnace. That’s not cheap at all. My husband wants to help because he feels bad but I told him I don’t want to since what we gave her isn’t good enough for her.

They sell stainless steel contact paper that goes on appliances she can use that to hook it up. It’s cheap and easy. So ungrateful and spoiled to expect other people to pay for a new fridge when she has a perfectly good running one.

And like someone else said she can sell the fridge you guys give her and use that as yours and your husband’s contribution

Such a good idea. My brother in law had bought one yesterday and asked to help put in money. I’m not going to. Especially since what I gave her isn’t good enough.

You guys dont have to buy her a damn thing. This sounds like my MIL. She is twice divorced and barely worked her whole life so she is spoiled. When her alimkny got reduced she ran into all sorts of problems and just kept asking us for money while she was still continuing her excessive lifestyle. My husband finally got fed up with her demands because he is not an atm and he has learned to say no. The last thing we did was but her 800 dollar tires for her bday/xmas for her stupid ass cadillac and paik for her bankrupcy. She is getting a bit better with money but still expects us to get her shit.

Part of homeownership is being able to handle repairs and replacements like this. You've done what you can by letting her use your old one. If that's not good enough it's on her to buy her own.

Tell her no! That your not going to be walked all over. You have her a fridge that works and if she doesn’t like it too bad. She doesn’t need new. If she wants a new one she can save up and buy one.

I wouldn’t do it! She has one that works perfectly fine. If she wants new let her buy it
