Our families have helped support our educations and they have done everything possible to help hubby and me get to where we are today and I would want to repay them somehow. However, I would NOT ever give anyone any money that has not done so for me or that I think would not help me if I needed it.

So glad you posted that...I was beginning to feel like a real selfish tighta$$!!

My Mom never encouraged me to go on to school, we never had the money I guess, I don't know, but in the 32 years that I've been married, other than Thanksgiving and Christmas, she has never invited us to her house for a meal or taken us out. She use to come here every Monday, before I finally put a stop to it because she was coming out just for the free food. We have taken her out many, many times. She has plenty of money, her own place in Florida and goes on cruises every year...so no I wouldn't give her any money. I would give some to my brothers, just because they are my brothers and I love them, but I wouldn't want either of their wives to benefit from it. Horrible aren't I? My best friend...well I would give her the world. What ever it would take to make her healthy again. Other than my immediate family, my best friend would never want for anything either.
