[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, don't know what one can say to you?  You are too poor and dependent on the charity of others to have hurt feelings. Good advice has been given to you already.  It is not fair on your ILs to have to deal with you all.

+1. You want free lodging in a destination state at peak travel times. Not only that, you want hosts to cater to you 24/7 and drop all their plans. It’s unbelievable. And no, they don’t want to fly to visit you in your non-destination. [/quote]

NP here. STFU you a-hole. OP’s family was invited for the holidays. They didn’t roll up randomly because they wanted a beach vacay.

In my family, if you invite someone, you host. That means figuring out food and entertainment and being generally available. We don’t treat them like leeches, we treat them like *our beloved family members who spent a lot of money and time traveling to us and now we want to make their stay awesome*.

DH and I take the kids to my SIL’s home for a week every summer. They do the same. We trade taking days off so we can take our ES kids for outings. We are fully available to them, and vice versa. Because we prioritize spending time with them during the limited time we have together.[/quote]
