Always paying for mother in law to visit--- even to see new baby!

[Anonymous]

im probably in the wroNo, but I'm so darn sick of paying for my mother in laws visits. Why can't she she'll out the 300 bucks herself. Makes me not want to see her. Have 5 month old and my husband is again paying to fly her up. WTF!!! Can't she pony up the money to see her grandKid. She doesn't have a lot of money- I get that- but she shells it out for her loser daughter and her skanky kids. None of them are employed eNo ugh to pay their bills- the whole car repossess type and she is shelling out money to them. But she can't call us up and ask to come see baby and get a damn ticket. Sorry But it really annoys me. We don't pay for my folks to fly up. It's the prIn impala really- if she offered maybe we'd refuse and pay. But to always have to suggest and pay is getting old.
I do like her and I never say anything about it--- of course. But this trip pisses me off a bit more.

+1. You like her. She doesn't have a lot of money. $300 isn't a huge amount. Be thankful.

If it makes you feel better, rationalize that you are are paying babysitting money. $300 would buy you about 20 hours with a sitter so plan to spend about that much time letting her watch the baby and you'll break even!

I had the exact same thought. Let's hope she formula feeds.

I think your mil is selfish for taking money from your family. I love the posters who jump on posts and imply any amount of money is small beans. Ohhhh, op is being so meaaaan over such a silly little thing.

Just today dh and I were discussing a small investment I made 2 decades ago and how much it has grown. If I were grandmom, I would want you to take that money and save it for the grandchildren. I think there are a lot of entitled in laws and moochers on this website. Those are the people who get upset about a posters "lack of generosity".

You sound very petty. Be happy that your MIL is engaged and wants to help. We always pay for my MIL's train ticket from Newport News to DC. We are happy to have the extra help, time with family, and sometimes the free date night sitting. Get over yourself

You are right to be annoyed. No more freebies.

[Anonymous]

I can see how it would be annoying if money was tight for you.

I make more than my parents or siblings and so I don't mind paying for expensive things or trips.

People who stand on their "impalas" all the time often have nothing else to stand on. Grow up, OP.
