[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you all afford this? Even at the crappy $120 a night hotels, that would blow our Christmas budget. We don't have an extra $500 every time we visit inlaws (every 6 weeks)[/quote]

You don't visit every 6 weeks for several nights.  But also, if you are happy with the setup there's no reason to change just because other people are not happy.  You do you. [/quote]

PP here. We're extremely unhappy with the setup but can't afford otherwise. [/quote]

Why on earth are you going so often, then? 
My family lives in Europe and we see them once a year on average, and once every 5 years for more distant relatives in Asia.
Visits get less frequent as distance and costs increase, simple equation.

So people who don't see their inlaws often are the ones staying in hotels? We normally have a reason why we visit every 6 weeks. Even Thanksgiving and Christmas are 6 weeks apart.[/quote]

Your ILs must live a lot closer than our families. Dh's family is about 6.5 hours away.  Mine is close to 8. We alternate Christmases. Dh's family comes to us for Thanksgiving, and my mom usually flies to see us one other time during the year.

(We actually don't stay in a hotel because there is plenty of space at both places. But we'll probably be paying for a hotel room for the ILs next Thanksgiving because FIL is finding it harder to navigate the stairs in our house to get between the guest room and the bathroom.)[/quote]
