[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Wow. I'm really surprised by the responses, but this is very educational.

Does it make any difference if my husband and I have never been hosted by SIL and BIL in our 15 years of marriage? They have stayed at our house repeatedly wherever we lived, and they've never opened up their homes to us. We've also hosted the entire family all together a couple of times in the past before we had kids. I am feeling tired of being the default hostess. [/quote]

OP, I’ve suggested this before, and I’ll ask again: Why can’t the rest of the family stay at a hotel so you’re only hosting MIL and FIL at your home? [/quote]

OP. Because they don't have a ton of money and don't like to spend it on a hotel when they can stay for free at my house. In actuality, I think they can afford it, but they're just very cautious with their money. BIL and SIL's flights will be purchased by FF miles that they earn through their credit cards (they own small businesses). Hubby and I usually buy MIL and FIL's tickets. [/quote]

This sounds like a good time to put your foot down. Tell them if you host only MIL/FIL stay with you. If they don’t like it, they are welcome to host. Done. [/quote]
