[quote=Anonymous]Families are different. Both parents and ILs are MC, and don't struggle. My parents take us out to dinner and once in a rare while will let us pick up the check. My mom like to slip us money "for gas" when we certainly visit (we can afford the gas ourselves.) My ILs look at the check and tell us what we owe. They complain about the gas and tolls every time they visit, like it's a surprise each time, and once suggested that we should pay for their visits, since we chose to move away. I grew up in a family where grown parents feel good about taking care of their grown kids. Not in an over indulgent way, but basics like asparagus. DHs family thinks their job is done and and we are an accessory when convenient for them. It's weird but something I needed to accept if we wanted to maintain a relationship.[/quote]
