What\u2019s most, the mom was always very supportive of Julia, even when she decided to drop out of law school. So, after she died, Julia talked to her husband, David, and the two made a decision to put some of the money into their dream house and use the rest for Julia to continue her studies, which was a huge wish of her late mom.<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, her in-laws seemed to have another plan of how those money should be spend.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile David and I are saving up for our home, we\u2019ve been renting a place with David\u2019s parents. And they had a very different interpretation of the situation \u2014 somehow, they were convinced that I had become a millionaire overnight, yet they never explicitly mentioned the money,\u201d Julia explained, adding that her mother and father-in-law found a way to make her spend the money.<\/p>\n<p>Namely, Julia explained that the family enjoyed dining out and visiting different restaurants where they could taste different cuisines.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRestaurant hopping will be our thing until we can travel to places,\u201d David always joked.<\/p>\n<p>But, ever since the inheritance came in, every restaurant outing turned into a game of \u201cwallet roulette,\u201d and guess who had always needed to pay the bill?<\/p>\n<p>Apparently, as they wanted her to cover the bill every time, the in-laws pretended to have forgotten their wallets at home.<\/p>\n<p>One Friday, however, as the four were getting ready to go out, Julia spotted her in-laws wallets resting on the table next to the door.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think your parents forgot their wallets,\u201d she told her husband, standing up.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t they always?\u201d he asked. \u201cHere, put them into your bag.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The family then went to a Chinese restaurant and Julia enjoyed the Chinese food she craved the entire week, while David had spring rolls.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen, as the bill arrived, I, with a feigned innocence, claimed that I had forgotten my bank card at home. The in-laws, with their trademark smiles put in place, mirrored by forgetfulness and looked to David,\u201d Julia explained.<\/p>\n<p>But at that moment, David intervened and said, \u201cDon\u2019t worry. I put your wallets in Julia\u2019s bag as we left the house. You can cover dinner this time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe shift in the room was palpable. You could almost hear the gears grinding to a halt as the reality of the situation sank in for my in-laws,\u201d Julia wrote.<\/p>\n<p>She further explained that she didn\u2019t try to take advantage of them, but they needed to become aware that Julia and David were saving money for a home, a home where his parents would also move in because David felt like it was upon him to take care of them. And yet, they never tried to help their son and daughter-in-law save up.<\/p>\n<p>After a moments of silence, the father-in-law stretched his arm to take his wallet. He not only covered the bill, but he also left a huge tip to the waiter, as though he was trying to save face.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThanks, Dad,\u201d David said. \u201cYou know, we\u2019ve got to share the responsibility of family dinner. Surely, you cannot expect to cash in on Julia\u2019s inheritance every time we go out. She has plans for that money, and you must respect it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Julia then grabbed David\u2019s hand beneath the table, feeling seen and appreciated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve got it next time,\u201d the mother-in-law chirped.<\/p>\n<p>In the weeks that followed, the in-laws never forgot their wallets again, but as David said, they all needed to take responsibility and pay for the bill when it\u2019s their turn.<\/p>\n<p>The in-laws learned a thing or two about responsibility. And not only that, but the mother-in-law started cooking without Julia asking her to because she knows her daughter-in-law studies after work.<\/p>\n<p>What are your thoughts on this?<\/p>\n<p>Please SHARE this article with your family and friends on Facebook.<\/p>\n<p>Bored Daddy<\/p>\n<p>Love and Peace<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When people believe they are entitled to other people\u2019s money and assets, a number of issues arise, especially if members of a family are involved.
