[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  I guess perhaps it was reasonable to pay for her ticket?  I just can't imagine asking my children (when they are older) to do that, particularly if I am very well-off and they are young and just starting out.  I would also be thrilled to see the grandchildren and would likely go to visit as soon as they would have me!  I guess it may depend on how you were raised.  My parents always tried to help me out as much as they could, even though they were solidly middle-class.  We always have tried to do the same for our kids.  [/quote]

There is no way on earth it was reasonable for your wealthy inlaws to ask you to pay for the ticket. I have been asked and offered to travel to help a relative and friends in times of need (birth, death, illness) and it has never once crossed my mind to ask the recipient of my help and support to pay for my travel.

Also, if I were you/your DH, I would never again pay a dime of my own money for a meal or outing for her. Ever.

DCUM groupthink on these subjects represents the worst of people, IMO.  [/quote]
