[quote=Anonymous]The dynamics raised in the two threads say that you don't mind taking charity from YOUR side of the family, but you feel bad accepting or even admitting that you need charity from HIS side of the family.  That is a problem that only you can resolve.  You have to find a way to come to terms equitably.  And you need to treat both sides the same.  What I think is more realistic is that you and your husband need to be on the same page and communicate that message to his family.

My recommendation is to suggest that you admit that you cannot afford air travel, but if the family is willing to come someplace within driving distance of DC (and the nice thing is that there are many, cost-effective places within driving distance of DC to vacation as a group) that your family can participate, otherwise, you cannot.  With everything from NYC to the Research Triangle and out to Pittsburgh or even a little further within easy driving distance, that's a lot of good options for a family vacation.[/quote]
