Some people feel they owe their parents for raising them and providing for them; therefore they are generous when they are in a position to be. Whatever this man's reasons are for not giving out his money is not up for debate. It is possible he planned on putting his money away for awhile to save and invest to set him up for life, then with a later paycheck he would divide up among the family. Now, he sees what is what and who is who. Fugg em..I'd cut them off too

I bet you it WON'T change.  He'd have to take out a whole new loan to do that

The coldest part is that it really doesn't. It was his and his mothers prior to the marriage should the marriage not last, then he keeps the house. I don't blame her for saying that though..I would say the same thing.

+2. Its almost like a wife who marries rich. You don't expect your hubby to just give his money to you since its HIS money/his talent but if you've been dating long enough to support his craft then it would be nice if you didn't have to ask. I'm quite sure his talent was supported with all the things named above. Its not a parent's job to do all of that. Its hard enough to make it as is. Those who do are star parents in my book. Going above and beyond what most parents do for the sake of their child's happiness. HOWEVER, they've been given money. They are just greedy. good for him for taking a stance.
