[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do people pay for parents to travel? This is confusing to me. You pay it forward to your own kids, not back to parents or siblings. [/quote] Unless you are fortunate enough to be more financially successful than your parents and you have a good enough relationship that you want to do this. Why is that confusing? In this case, it sounds like up until now it has been easier financially for OP and her DH to pay for his mother's plane ticket than for his mother on her limited income. OP, this is hard but it's totally appropriate for DH to tell his mom that you still love them but your financial situation has evolved plus the price of tickets and hotels have gone up such that this isn't viable for you anymore. Perhaps they can discuss splitting the cost? Or tell her that you can afford two trips per year rather than the several that you've done in the past. It's not okay to put yourself in a financially less stable position.[/quote]
