my parent in laws are in a rough spot with money right now but so are me and my husband , my husband just signed on with a new company and will be making really good money but we are soo far behind that everydime is gone the day we get his pay check and to make it worse his parents keep borrowing money from us , I feel like they dont care about our situation they only care about themselves , they know if we dont pay our landlord back full than we will get evicted but they dont seem to care about that. My husband got a pay check today for 1700 and since he use to work with his father that checks still come in his fathers name so when his father went to the bank to cash the check for us he took 600 without asking , he just said " here is 1100 , I borrowed 600 " now we are in a situation of not being able to pay our landlord back , not being able to pay our disconnect notices AND not having enough money for gas for my husband to work " , they know our situation and yett they keep asking
for money . I know everyone on here is going to say talk to them but its not that easy , his father is a hard head and wont let anyone speak when he does , if its money he wants than he will get it and my husband is too damn nice to just say no and on top of that his dad has total control over our money. Im not sure what to do anymore and how we are going to get out of this situation , on top of all of this his mom is ALWAYS shopping , buying new cloths and stuff for their house while we are stuck scraping change and we cant even afford to buy dog food for our dogs .

Any advice would help
also my husband talked to his boss about changing the checks into his name and they said they will do that but it will take a few weeks .
also they dont do this to their other children whom are financially more stable than we are.
 
Well first there is no reason his dad should be in control of your money. Get the checks in your husbands name. That all needs to be changed now. Tell your husband you guys are trying to start a life together and become something of yourselves and his parents are using you and you won't put up with it anymore. I had to with my husband. My FIL is a drunk and always asking for everything and my husband never says no to him until he realized how much it is hurting our relationship. He needs to cut the strings with them and tell them no. There is no other answer.

edit- they probably don't do this to their other children because the other children don't let them. the parents see they can take advantage of you guys so they do.
