In today's Dear Annie column, a frustrated wife wants her husband to ask for receipts before paying his mom's medical bills because she thinks his sisters are pocketing some of the money.
Annie Lane has some advice for today's reader: Be thankful her husband is so generous and worry less about asking for copies of bills.My mother-in-law has been diagnosed with cervical cancer back in our home country. My husband planned to pay all the expenses for her care, including treatments, hospital visits and food. His three older sisters live near his mom . He said his sisters are poorer than we are when comparing our hourly wages.
I told my husband to ask for proof of the receipts from all the bills. With the receipts, we would pay all the costs for mother-in-law treatments and hospital visits. Without receipts, we would pay $4,800, which is more than the treatment package cost of $4,600.
