My parents have very little money - every so often they send a lot of money for them as gifts for the girls (they send over British pounds), we keep this in a drawer and then usually exchange it to buy the girls one big gift each.
They sent over some money for the girls birthdays and Christmas - I went to add it to the money already there and there wasn't any. I asked my W where the money went and she said she spent it on horseback riding and other outings for the girls.
So my W spent this without telling me, or telling the girls it was a specific gift from their grandparents. In the meantime she has been putting less of her money (she gets paid mainly in cash) towards general household expenses and used it to pay the retainer for the lawyer. She admitted that she used $2,000 of money she had set aside (though I suspect it was more) and withdrew the rest from her stocks (pre-marraige).
Oh and in the meantime - she asked me to increase the amount I put towards general household expenses this summer - because we didn't have enough month to month.
Nice - my parents and I are paying for her L's retainer.
