[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If it costs less than flying you and your kids to see MIL, then I don't think it's unreasonable to share some of the expense.  I pay half when my sister comes to see us, just because flying my kids to her would cost 4x that and be a giant hassle.  [/quote]

We are fine paying for MIL to visit. But bring the BIL doubles that cost. That is the problem and they really can’t afford to come unless we foot the bill. [/quote]

Also since we last brought them, airfare and hotel costs doubled. So $150 airfare for one would now be $720 for two ($360/ticket). And whereas we could at least squeeze MIL in the house, now we would need a hotel for BIL.

MIL basically cried when we initially intimated this may not work.  She thinks we can afford it and don’t want to see her.

Her tears are not your problem.  You can't afford to bring both of them.  Maybe tell her she can have one trip with everyone OR two trips with just her (or whatever makes sense for your situation) but that's all you can afford.  She can choose if she wants.  [/quote]
