DEAR ABBY: Should I be offended that my in-laws set up a college savings fund for my children but didn’t allow me — only my wife — to be an authorized signer on the accounts?
I am grateful, but I also feel slighted. Am I wrong to feel the way I do about this situation?— LEFT OUT IN CALIFORNIA
DEAR LEFT OUT: Right or wrong, your feelings are your feelings. If you want to know whether they are valid, while you are thanking them for their generosity, ask your in-laws why they arranged the fund that way.

I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you.
My ex is like this guy when it comes to other's money. He works for a financial investment firm, not as an investment analyst though. He fancies himself all knowing of what is good to invest in and wants to control everyone's money.

As much as my parents loved my husband they didn't put his name on any of their bank accounts just mine. His parents didn't put my name nor their other dil on their bank accounts either.
I guess I wouldn't even think about it. I mean i wouldn't expect my inlaws to put me on their accounts. I don't know why i would care if they did or didnt'.
