My sister in law & I were good friends & sisters. I helped her move 2x's (w/my severe back problems) was there 4 her thru her marriage & ultimate divorce (alot of personal time & counseling - relationship and religious 4 her & husband). She planned a vacation to Florida 4 her son, herself & hubby. she moved out- needing another person 2 go in his place. We decided 2 send my 11 yo daughter (her son is also 11). I paid her $800.00 4 the ticket/hotel (which I thought was a lot) & I was sending my kid w/$100 spending money & $100 tword food. We took her son on vacation 2 years ago 4 free. She told me the night b4 they left that she would need $300 4 food I was shocked but sent the $. The day after she told my kid they may need 2 use some of the $ I sent her 2 buy trinkets w/4 food. I sent her another 100 instead. My kid was treated like a 3rd wheel & heard her talking about me saying I'm cheap. I am totally pissed & don't know what 2 do. I feel robbed & like I want nothing to do w/her

I can't help but think she kept asking for money for herself to use. My gosh, you are hardly cheap. I think you paid for a vacation for your cheap sister in law. I would let it go, but not involve myself in her affairs. Sounds like she is a user. You are not, and she will only try and take advantage of you again. You sound to nice for that. Keep your daughter away from anyone like that who would bad mouth her parents in front of her. She needs to grow the heck up. You, are
way above her.

You have learned your lesson. The next time she wants to take your son somewhere, tell her that he cannot. If she wants money, don't give it to her. I can see why no one would want to stay married to such a money grubber. Tell your husband that you do not want her to get one cent of your money for the way she treated your son and you.

asked her why she did that to you? if the answer unreasonable. try to move on with yourlife. forget about helping her. anyway, she's just your sister in law.
just keep a realationship b/c she is part of our family but don't be too close to her anymore. and talked about this to your husband.

From now on simply don't be there. And don't leave your child with her. Those kind of people do not deserve the attention they tend to create with their drama.

I don't blame you. How dare she treat your daughter like that. I don't blame you if you don't want to have anything to do with that witch again.
