Mesorat%20hashas for Nedarim 11:8

הַמֻּדָּר הֲנָאָה מֵחֲתָנוֹ וְהוּא רוֹצֶה לָתֵת לְבִתּוֹ מָעוֹת, אוֹמֵר לָהּ, הֲרֵי הַמָּעוֹת הָאֵלּוּ נְתוּנִים לָךְ בְּמַתָּנָה וּבִלְבַד שֶׁלֹּא יְהֵא לְבַעְלֵךְ רְשׁוּת בָּהֶן, אֶלָּא מַה שֶּׁאַתְּ נוֹשֵׂאת וְנוֹתֶנֶת בְּפִיךְ:

If one's son-in-law had bevowed benefit from him, and he (the father-in-law) wished to give money to his daughter, he says to her: "Take this money as a gift, on condition that your husband has no right to it, but only in what you buy and put in your mouth." [And his condition stands, and the husband does not acquire it. And even though, by means of this gift, he "rescues" him from exertion; for his wife is fed by this money, and feeding her was his obligation — "saving from exertion" is not considered "benefitting."]
