be the bigger person, hand him the cheque, and NEVER ask them for anything. I would just keep it to the minimum with them, to keep family relations civil.
Just write “thank you” on the memo line of the check and hand it over
Let all the other crap pass like water under a bridge
Some fights are not worth the energy
I would give him the money back inside a thank-you card- and hand it to him personally. I’d disregard any hearsay quotes your MIL attributed to him, she may have been creating drama!
Be pleasant and gracious to him; if nothing else, you will look like the better person.
It’s wrong that they aren’t as generous with your husband as they are with his sisters. However, you guys were loaned the money during your time of need. Imagine if they hadn’t have given it to you. I’m sure you were grateful when you received it. If he were my son I would feel awful taking it from him since he’s out of work. Just pay them. You never know if another emergency were to crop up and you needed help again. Try to avoid doing so if at all possible. Paying them will give them nothing to say.
Personally, I would pay back by check a.s.a.p., thank them for the loan, and never ask again. There’s not much you can do about their interpersonal conflicts, but it sounds like they’re not a good source for future loans.
I’m just curious how your husband is able to rebuild an engine but he is off on disability due to an injury.
Just curious.
