FIL Christmas gift update
So as you may or may not remember, I have had some resentment about FIL borrowing money and never bringing anything to the table (so to speak - either being an active part of our lives or paying back any of his debts).
I was shocked when he came by after Christmas to pay back his debts. Of course I even asked DH "do you think he can afford this?".
DH called his dad the day he deposited the check, to double-check that it was ok.. his dad gave him the green light..
Yes, it bounced. So I have been told not to deposit my check.
My guess is this is no different than all the times FIL has had to borrow money from us. He gets paid for something, deposits it in the bank, and the bank takes the money because he is in debt. I don't understand how this can happen repeatedly (I mean, I know people do.. it's just sad..)
I'm actually not that surprised (and I'm not mad). Just an update.
