[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You just have completely different expectations of what is happening. Brother and SIL don’t think they are “hosting”. No one is sleeping at their house. And they are not looking to see you for three meals a day. I don’t understand why your husband complained about this to start with.[/quote]

The kids all stay at their house.[/quote]

Same poster. I will say it again. They are not HOSTING YOU. You have to stop thinking this. They are doing a favor to your MIL and FIL by apparently letting some kids stay at their house. You are annoyed they leave kids with you when they go out. I bet they are annoyed with being responsible for kids overnight. Apparently, they also generously let your ILS borrow their house for things like meals with your family and the other out of town family. You have to stop thinking they are hosting. If you let go of this, half your annoyance will be gone.

+1  I'd totally resent you as well.  Stop going at Christmas.  Pick a time when flights are cheaper and get an AirBnB.  Enjoy the holidays in your own home.  If people come to visit you, great.  If not, you'll see the at another time.

Oh - and absolutely nothing in your posts have indicated there is anything 'elitist' abut your BIL/SIL. [/quote]
