[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My brother makes five times the money we do.  He has always included us in vacations every few years.  I started picking up on little things from my SIL.  She would make comments about how much more expensive the place was because of the extra people.  How much more the food was etc.  Then my 4yo  nephew told me that I couldn't use the swimming pool because his dad paid for it and we were too poor.  Of course my nephew heard this from his bitter mother, so that was the end of us joining them.  My brother still invites us and is very sad that we decline.  I don't need my super superior SIL lording it over me.  The sad thing is, we never see them anymore.  SIL actually has tried to smooth things over, but we still decline.[/quote]

Just because your brother makes more money doesn't mean you are entitled to him paying for your family.  sounds like you were mooching. His wife got upset.  Why don't you work it out, especially if she is trying to make peace.  Family is complicated, after all those years of your brother paying you don't get together with him anymore because he doesn't pays. Sounds like you are the super superior one.[/quote]

No, her brother values family and puts his money where his values are. I would do the same for my siblings if they would let me. It sucks when my siblings don't come because they can't afford it. [/quote]
