[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the last few years, we have funded my MIL’s trips to our house several times a year. With airfare increasing (and a second kid heading to college), it stings but it’s family.

About two years ago my husband’s sister moved in with his mom. Previously, she was living with his dad (nearby our home), but FIL passed. BIL has severe mental issues and cannot live alone but is fine staying home alone for 4-5 days.

In the spring we brought them both up for a family reunion. It was expensive between the hotels and airfare. ... [/quote]

So your DH's sister and brother live with your MIL.  That's 3 round trip airfares and 2-3 hotel rooms.  Are both of the siblings on disability and MIL retired or all 3 on disability?  How do you deal with holidays?  2 in college should be an automatic cut for BIL and SIL and squeeze MIL into your house for a few days.

if you had wads of unbudgeted monthly cash there never would have a post on the subject.  Those adult siblings are not your young adult children or college age kids.  If BIL was living with FIL who is now deceased, was there inheritance money?  MIL covers their housing and BIL+SIL if on SSDI could be pulling in 1600 to 3000k plus a month.  [/quote]
