Couple fakes medical emergencies to get money from daughter and son-in-law to fund luxury lifestyle, Facebook posts detailing trips and fancy dinners reveal where the funds really go: "It was always right after we helped them"

It is endlessly fascinating to me how much people betray themselves by posting to social media. I once found out I was being cheated on by a high school boyfriend by means of an Instagram post. He and I didn't have the same lunch period, and I had planned to skip a bit of my World History class to be able to eat with him. However, he said he was "sick," and I ended up sat in class learning about Genghis Khan or the Code of Hammurabi. However, it came to my attention that a girl that gave high school-me "bad vibes" was missing from the class. I checked her Instagram, and lo and behold, she posted a picture of herself and my boyfriend skipping school lunch to hang out at Taco Bell.

In our story today, a couple exposes their own manipulations by posting to Facebook. After years of getting handouts from their daughter for medical bills and other emergencies, their son-in-law begins to notice a pattern: every time they ask for money, they post about fancy dinners, luxury items, and vacations.

“Wouldn't you help?” With what? Funding their luxury lifestyle? Making sure they have the latest designer clothes and have tried every fancy restaurant in the city?

I'm not sure that posting on Facebook like that would solve any of their problems. It will just cause more strife in the family. Best to just cut the parents off financially and leave it at that until it blows over. No need to justify it.
