[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hosting can be stressful for some people. It looks like your brother falls into that category. Maybe offer to pay for a take out meal or plan to take the host out to dinner. How long are you stanying at their house? [/quote] We're staying two nights. It is frustrating, because I feel like when we host, we host 100% (except for the above-mentioned wine -- and trust me, I provide plenty of wine, but it never seems to be enough...). That being said, I'm happy to contribute; it just seems like a no win situation. And I think you are right - it is stressful for my BIL to host, and I don't think he likes to do so. There are two family members in the same area, so we split up. We even offered to stay in a hotel, and my SIL rejected the idea. I think next year we will be clear that we are staying in a hotel b/c I really don't think BIL likes houseguests, even though they have a really big house and two guestrooms. [/quote]
