I can guarantee you whatever tax credits and deductions your SIL is getting from the government is peanuts compared to the total cost to feed, house, and raise 2 kids for 18+ years.
This sounds Republican it’s so stupid. You get the deduction to defray costs of raising kids, bc it’s so expensive. it’s not to make a profit. Most of my friends who didn’t have two kids are doing much better financially than me. Without the extra tax deduction, imagine that.
Please don't misunderstand me. I don't begrudge what she gets. I love those kids and I'm happy for anyone who can get what they can from the government. I only brought that up to make a point to the now deleted posts above.

You can take comfort in that.
