How to handle my future'in;laws?

My boyfriend and I have been together for over 3 years. We've definitely have talked about getting married and such. Before I got together with my boyfriend, he was having some financial issues due to his mother. She messed with his finances for a good year or so after we got together. After finding out what she did to him, I'm not a fan of hers. His parents have been nothing but nice to me, but for some reason, I dont like them. We live about 3hrs away from them and when they come and visit, my boyfriend always gets them something (ie: shoes, movies). I dont know why he feels obligated to do so or why feels bad and does. This past weekend when they came, get got them both a pair of shoes. As I was sitting there looking at them wearing them..it really made my blood boil. My boyfriend knows how I feel regarding the finances and knows that I would turn her in, in a heartbeat. I've made comments about not really liking them, but have never directly told him. How should I handle my feelings toward them?...especially if we decide to tie the knot!

    Why do you not like them? They live 3 hours away so I'm guessing they don't come over to much. And if they were nice to you why do you not like them? If you dont like them over the fact that he buys them stuff I thinks that's a little ridiculous. Sounds to me that you're jealous that he gets them stuff. Does he buy you anything? You can always give hints to him that you want stuff being bought for you. Flowers as example. Goodluck!

    I definitely am not jealous of them, but I get the feeling they are using him in a way. He always gets me things and I never ask for them. I am not a materialistic person. His mother just comes across as very greedy.
