[quote=Anonymous]So my brother and SIL are asking me and my son to come visit them when they are both on business trips. The idea is that cousins who are close in age will play together, we will all hang out together on the two weekends, and during the week I will watch the 3 boys, aged 4-6, from about dinnertime until nanny takes them to school (I will stay with my son). 
I have done this before and they paid for 2/3 of our plane tickets. This time I am in a financial bind and asked them to pay 100%. Now they are offering to buy us tickets for miles, which would involve change of flights (otherwise a 6 hr non stop flight). 
Honestly, this is very inconvenient with a 4 yo (esp as the departure times are weird, early morning/late evening), plus I feel a bit offended as I know they a) want me there mostly to watch the kids b)just paid for a SIL's relative to go with them on vacation c) SIL is never that way with HER relatives, but my brother is trying to save as much as he can on HIS 
Sorry about the somewhat incoherent rant, I am just strangely upset about it all[/quote]
