Anyone have issues Living with PIL?

Question

I really quite unhappy with PIL but yet cant do anything..my husband owned a car, he pay for evrything, road tax, insurance, loan, maintenance etc. But my PIL ALWAYS OCCUPIED our car to go out every weekend, morning say want to go market, afternoon say want to go shopping, they cant stay at home at all. The point is they always go out using our car.  Tried talking to my hub,  other family members never contribute any single cents but always use it. (Atleast sometimes contribute petrol, cashcard also can, but nth at all) everytime petrol finish my hub pay, cashcard finish my hub top up. They jus know HOW TO USE, but nvr contribute!!Do u guys have this similar issue?

Hey! Same! I didnt even realize till you mentioned it! FIL is very mobile and takes MRT to his shop. But for other things, he always asks my husband to ferry him to and fro at very specific timings, then gets mad if my husband is late. And when it coincides with meal timings, husband pays for the meals mostly. FIL doesnt offer anything back. Not even a word of thanks. (Come to think of it, even I thank every single Grab/taxi rider I even though I pay for the service hahahaha) My husband is the never mind la, dont be calculative kind so......thats exactly why hes the only one doing this for yearsssssss when there are other siblings who can help. The Saikang Warrior Child I guess based on their traditional mindset, their children owe them, or its simply filial piety. To them, its 应该的。😅
