I am so...Your family sounds so warm and welcoming. I am sorry you have to go through this, and I think unfair treatment among children is so unfair. My parents do it all the time and it really bothers me. I wouldn't even write your in laws a thank-you note. I would just send them a check and in the memo I would put "suggested utility amount."Mrs. Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00203000504655652613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6575859860218981694.post-34186931025145159732012-07-12T01:23:21.849-04:002012-07-12T01:23:21.849-04:00That would really bother me, too.

Maybe you should send the $200 check with a note or dated not to deposit until August, since you won't have money until then!! Maybe they'll get the point!Kirsten Treffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17846438229521583286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6575859860218981694.post-84911389448691581442012-07-11T11:48:06.899-04:002012-07-11T11:48:06.899-04:00In all fairness DrH was still getting paid. He was...In all fairness DrH was still getting paid. He was finishing up residency, but because we sold our house we needed a place to stay. Because we had lost so much money and still had huge expenses coming (i.e. the actual moving, licensing, deposits for rent/utilities, etc) we decided to head home and save for those expenses. Now we are waiting for his first paycheck as a fellow. They always hold the first week or two, so I am not sure when it will be here. I just hope it seems soon, or that $200 check I am sending may bounce.From A Doctors Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02410694740641116438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6575859860218981694.post-31459947175308253782012-07-11T10:54:26.520-04:002012-07-11T10:54:26.520-04:00Oh, wow. I guess it's one thing to expect you ...Oh, wow. I guess it's one thing to expect you to contribute to the bills if you're staying there all year and at least one of you is gainfully employed. (Although when I lived with Andy's parents for six months, I never paid for utilities, and they kept a plate heating for me in the oven until I got home from class every night.) But expecting you to pay for utilities when you're staying with family because you don't have a paycheck seems pretty harsh.Marisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08279271737371822832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6575859860218981694.post-32974312635448496522012-07-11T10:36:39.820-04:002012-07-11T10:36:39.820-04:00I thought the redistribution of wealth was suppose...I thought the redistribution of wealth was supposed to go from those who "have" to those who "have not", not the other way around. I wonder if they would accept a handmade IOU for $200 payable in the year 2015?From A Doctors Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02410694740641116438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6575859860218981694.post-31197761590424685802012-07-11T10:10:23.761-04:002012-07-11T10:10:23.761-04:00It's because you fall under the "They'...It's because you fall under the "They'll be okay, 'cause he's a doctor" cloud and, like you said, despite the short sale, you always pay your bills. I'm sure the other sibling is not as responsible as your husband (and you!). <br />Reading this I was going to suggest you just send it with a thank you note typed out on the computer and printed on normal copier paper, but you already got it!
