you guys need to grow a pair. This thread pisses me off every time I see it.
You've taught his parents to treat you like a doormat, so don't be upset when they treat you like a doormat.

Glad to see an update.
Your DH's parents are a couple of jerks. I would not have ever given them the damned chair.

So now is he going to ask for the remaining money? If not, why not? Angry on your behalf...

Wow. They just keep slapping you in the face. I was thinking that you should fight for the chair back after they pass, but I'm sure you never want to see it again!

Thanks for the update. I'm sorry that they only paid you a fraction of the value of the chair. I'm sure that you're disgusted by the entire situation.

Wow! Relatives suck sometimes. The update is just in time for me to yap about my husband's cousin who, almost 20 years ago, declined my then husband-to-be's offer to fund a trip over here (from the UK) to attend our wedding. He would have been part of a family party including his grandparents, mom, stepdad and sister. A trip to Cape Town, the KZN battlefields and a safari were included. He had a new love interest at the time and refused to come without her. His mom hated the GF, asked us to be the bad guys, we were happy to say no dice to the extra person. His Mom & stepdad are coming out next year and he is reminding us, via his Mom, that he is "owed" this trip  . One more time, for you: the way you were treated was awful. |

Ugh this thread makes me so angry for you!!!
I'm glad you got something, but his parents just keep treating you like crap at every opportunity. I'm sorry.
Do you know where the chair is?

I'm guessing he's not asking for the remainder of the money because he is used to kowtowing to his parents. I would be really upset, and tell them that they have their Christmas present for a few years(depending in what you usually spend on them at Christmas.

I am so sorry. They most definitely should have paid you the entire amount. They sound incredibly selfish to me. I can't imagine treating one of my kids like that.
Thank you for the update. I've often wondered what the final outcome was.

And now we wait to see who ends up with the chair after the parents pass. Who thinks the chair will be specifically written down in the will to go to someone OTHER than OP's DH....?

You're definitely better people than I, no way in hell would they have got the chair back at all...ever. Agreed!! I would have never handed her the chair back, no way, no how. If she wanted it badly enough, she could have given the amount you asked for. I also wouldn't have given it to them until check was IN HAND and cashed. You gave in again, so they are not ever going to stop demanding and demeaning you or your DH. He needs to grow a pair and tell them once and for all how it's going to be. I had my BIL and his family living with us for a few months. They took every advantage they could and even broke stuff of ours and never ONCE apologized or felt remorse for breaking anything. We kicked them out. Had enough. They didn't have a place to go, but we'd had enough...they ended up at my FIL's for two weeks before he too, asked them to leave. If you let them walk all over you, they will and they enjoy it, believe. me. |

Normally, I'm a "it's family, let it go" kind of person, mainly because I'm sick of fighting with my family. In this case, I would call or send a text asking when I will receive the rest of the money.

Thanks for the update! I'd probably be surprised I got any money at all and probably let some comments slide now and again. You are a good person  |

I'm sorry you and DH have had to deal with all this. I hope you get the rest if the money, but if not I hope you can find peace.
Peas - please don't get after her or her DH. I'm sure they are doing their best and it doesn't help them to be called coward etc. We don't live in the situation even if we have similar stories. What's done is done now and can't be changed.

Someone should just happen to cut and paste this entire thread into an anonymous e-mail to the in laws. Perhaps if they saw in black and white what cheap ass selfish losers they are being they might see the light. I hope that every time they look at that chair they feel like shit. I try not to be petty but they would be getting the freezing cold passive aggressive silent treatment from this point on. I would include the phrase "bless your heart" in every conversation I was forced to have with them.

I would have DH send them a message, thanking them for the partial payment and asking when you can expect the remainder to be paid.

Maybe it's being paid in installments. I'm surprised, and happy, that you a least got some money. Thanks for updating us.
