‘It’s not my child’: SG woman pushes back after in-laws ask her to help support brother-in-law’s kid
She said the latest request felt especially unfair after years of paying for family meals and being expected to give generous wedding and baby gifts. This article ( ‘It’s not my child’: SG woman pushes back after in-laws ask her to help support brother-in-law’s kid ) first appeared on The Independent Singapore News .
A Singaporean woman shared on Reddit her decision to refuse her in-laws' request to contribute monthly to support her husband's brother's child. The woman, who posted anonymously, stated that her in-laws had previously asked for a significant sum of money for her own wedding and now expect her to help financially for her brother-in-law's child.
She found these requests unfair, especially since her in-laws did not ask her husband's older brother to contribute similarly during her wedding. Additionally, she noted that her brother-in-law had been judgmental of her, calling her a "sinner" due to her clothing choices. The woman decided to put a stop to the monthly contributions, believing that it is not her responsibility to fund her brother-in-law's child.
Many Reddit users agreed with her stance, advising her not to feel guilty and suggesting that her husband should stand up for her. Some users also noted that this behavior is not typical in Singaporean Chinese families.
