I know this is rather old but I’m rather new. My in-laws are always telling my DH I should work so we don’t have to be so frugal. I enjoy being frugal and being able to stay home with my son, even though he is 14 now I still feel he needs me there. My family is happier and healthier since I cook from scratch as much as possible. Something they don’t want to understand. They eat at Mcdonalds or other such places about 3-4 times a week. Another thing is they have so many material things but can’t see to being charitable, they hoard what they have even if they don’t use it. In regards to us, whatever we do have we share with whomever needs it. I just basically ignore them and smile and say “you may be right” and try to change the subject. Funny after 5 years I still get calls from his family telling so and so is hiring. ;D
