"Welcome to WiseWomenUnite.com -- When adult children marry and leave home, life can sometimes get more complex instead of simpler.  Being a mother-in-law or daughter-in-law can be tough.  How do we extend love and support to our mothers-in-law, adult children, daughters-in-law, sons-in-law, and grandchildren without interfering?  What do we do when there are communication problems?  How can we ask for help when we need it without being a burden?  And how do our family members feel about these issues?  We invite you to join our free forum, read some posts... and when you're ready...share your challenges and wisdom."

It seems to me that we're talking ethics here. Sometimes, unfortunately, an old fashioned word.

And I have seen people "ruin their credit" and still get more in a blink of the eye. Boggles the mind...

This is a divisive issue between my family and DIL's FOO, and one that brought DS to his feet defending us to his FIL who is very well off now but walked away from two huge debts. We don't think it's ethical, but apparently they don't see it that way as long as they're making $$$. Of course we've never openly criticised DS's FIL, not even to DS; DS figured it out all by himself.
Respect ... is appreciation of the separateness of the other person, of the ways in which he or she is unique.

Well, if things are tightening up, I'm glad! All of that is so irresponsible!
