[quote=Anonymous]this is complicated. the way you describe it is a bit odd - on the one hand you see it as an obligation, which makes you no different really than the SIL you're criticizing (and i know the situation as we are in a similar one with DH's family - every vacation ends up with us essentially staying at their house, which is nice but not a vacation in the traditional sense). that said, i can see why you'd be balking at the cost. on the one hand it sounds like you don't really like hanging out with these people, but then you seem annoyed that the resort vacation might result in you seeing them less. i see two options: 1) resort place closer to you or 2) whoever helped subsidize you going in the past do it again (no one wants to be a beggar but it does seem like spending time with your family is important to the larger group and maybe if finances aren't a concern for other members, they can pitch in).[/quote]
