This is the Ramsey Call of the Day, part of the Ramsey Network.

Joining me today is Ramsey personality, Dr. John Deloney.

Kim is in Huntsville.

Hey, Kim, welcome to the Ramsey show.

Hi, Dave and John.

Thank you for taking my call.

Sure.

What's up?

Okay, so my father-in-law has been living on his own for about a year and a half, separated

from his wife, but not legally yet.

And he, about a month ago, he got a new job making more than us than my husband and I combined.

But over the last month, he's asked us for money to kind of cover his, I guess, but until he got paid.

And every time he asked my husband for money, my husband can't say no because he feels bad.

He's like, that's what we're supposed to do, is help family.

But I think his father, or I think my father-in-law is kind of taking advantage of the fact that he

knows that we have money because we just recently sold our

short-term rental. And so I guess I'm just kind of stuck because I'm...

This has nothing to do with your father-in-law, has everything to do with your marriage.

Right. Well, I tell my husband no, but then I think it's his relationship with his father because he feels bad because of his situation.

I know, but when you tell him no, you're taking on the role of his mom.

Right.

If you sit down and say, when you do this, you make me feel less than.
