[quote=Anonymous]When you're talking about visiting overnight (or over a weekend)...I think the host should expect and plan to pay for all meals/food at the house. A good guest should offer to pay for any restaurant meals. When we visit my parents in another state, my parents don't let me pay for anything though. They want to treat us since we don't see them very often. I remember one year my FIL (who is local, so not an overnight thing) asked everyone to contribute some cash towards the meal he was preparing (for some family holiday gathering). Generally, the members of the extended family take turns hosting these big dinners - so I felt that it would all even out in the end (without cash contributions). People did contribute - but I think that was the last time we had a big dinner at his house. So, I do think it is a good idea to stay in a hotel next year so you don't have to listen to BIL complain so much about hosting.[/quote]
