[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When we go on family vacay, each family contributes 100.00 per member of their family. All that money goes into the pot, and that is the money that is used for food for the week. If the money runs out, each family contributes a new amount per family member. That means a family of 2 is not having to contribute the same amount as a family of 6 and that everyone is free to each any of the food. Could your husband suggest this?  When we do this, we leave my parents, who pay for the rental, out of it, so it is just the families that pay this food money.[/quote]

This is a brilliant idea.  I just don't know how to broach it.  If I leave it to my husband, he'll just say he'd rather just buy all the food because money is just money.  Yes, it annoys me that he doesn't seem to care how I feel about it, but we've had this argument so many times that I'm done fighting with him about it.  For some reason this just really sets him off, and I don't fully understand why - he is nothing like his sister and they aren't at all close.  If I bring it up to my MIL, she'll just end up paying for the SIL's family's share, which I guess is fine since that's her choice.  And my SIL would label me an obnoxious bitch if I raised it with her.  We are nothing alike and are not close.  We fake it when we're together but, for example, she doesn't text/email/call on my or my childrens' birthdays.[/quote]
