[quote=Anonymous]I understand your frustration. You work hard so your family can enjoy the financial rewards. Your husband seems generous. He probably values the time he is able to spend with his sister and their kids, so he's reluctantly spending the money to get the time together. I understand his behavior. Your SIL on the other hand seems opportunistic. I can see why having three kids might make more sense for her to SAH but buying plane tix late and letting brother pick up the tab more than once every few years is too much. Phrase it in terms as however much he spends on the sister's family is less for your kids. But he already knows that and chooses to spend the money. I don't know if having an argument about this will be fruitful. I say this because I have similar fights with my husband, and it's an issue he won't budge on. At the end of the day, I think it makes him think less of me (for not being as generous as him or frankly speaking he never says no to his mom even at my expense) and he doesn't change anyway and I always end up in tears because this issue makes me so frustrated.
