[quote=Anonymous]FIL is awesome and I generally like his wife (not DH's mother) very much.
FIL has a few grandkids between DH and his siblings. BILs live within what FIL feels is driving distance so will visit those grankids every so often. We live a plane ride away. FIL has only met DC once, when we flew out to him. I'm okay with that. Would love to see him more often but understand the time and expense involved in plane travel. FIL has always been upfront about their limitations. And clearly, we have the same limitations or would we travel to him more often.

The thing that bugs me is that its often FIL's wife that leads the "it too expensive argument" and yet I see her posting multiple times a year about hopping on a plane to see her children and grandkids. I always figured it was a closer trip, probably less expensive, etc and just got over whatever feels I had about it. Its not my time or money being used so in the end its none of my business. But yesterday she posts about plans to come to the east coast and rent a house in Florida for her kids and grandkids next year. That really made me feel bad. Aren't those homes expensive to rent? She wants one on the beach. If she feels they have the money to swing that why is she always saying its too expensive to come visit us?

In the end, I know I have to just get over it. I have no say in how others spend their money. I will not say anything to DH or his family about it. I'm not looking to stir up trouble. My feelings are just a bit hurt. [/quote]
