[quote=Anonymous]We are always the one traveling to see in laws and now with kids it’s really adding up to a like item in our budget, the flights are expensive for a family to go often and it’s completely on sided. Despite asking to meet them in a resort destination an hour away or inviting them to visit us, they have only made the effort once in 7 years. We also tend to be the one to pick up the checks when we see them. We recently found out that they gave both of his siblings 6 figure gifts for down payments for homes. This was in addition to paying for private education for college. DH put himself through college with a combination of scholarships and a small loan and we never received a financial gift for either our kids or ourselves. We don’t ask for money but at the same time, maintaining a relationship with then in expensive and it seems selfish they are willing to help so much when it comes to everyone else but can’t even put forth a few thousand dollars to visit but expect us to make the effort every time. I asked DH if he could invite them this year and we take that money and put it towards travel for a destination our family chooses. Visiting them is not at at refreshing to me and we have a tighter budget than normal and feel like maybe we need to skip a year. [/quote]
