[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are coming across as a selfish and greedy person from this post. Are you or is this a wrong assumption?[/quote]

NP. She is not coming across that way at all. I would be resentful too and cut out the travel to them. The gifts to the other siblings in particular stings.[/quote]

NP. I agree. The one-sidedness is rude and inconsiderate, and the monetary gifts to the other siblings but not DH is really hurtful. OP and DH could use money for 529s, or the in-laws could at least foot the bill for OP’s family to travel to the in-laws, or AT LEAST pick up the check when OP and family are visiting. ILs sound selfish. OP, do your kids enjoy their grandparents? Does your DH enjoy them? Does he agree this year maybe you all do something else with your vacation money and vote the ILs to come to you this time?[/quote]

Well, how other people choose to spend their money isn’t up to you. Your husband is a grown adult and not entitled to freebies. Earn your own and don’t spend on visits which make you resentful. Let him buy his ticket with his money to go if when he wants to.[/quote]

No it’s not but people generally put their resources (time, money, whatever) towards the people they value so it speaks volumes in that respect. Yes, we definitely earn our own, but I don’t really want to spend our earned money to see them. [/quote]
