[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, there is an easy fix. Encourage your husband to do what he probably really wants to do, which is for him to have a private (private is important) discussion with BIL about this. Men understand this - many wouldn't want another man paying their way. Chances are they can reach an agreement - an amount your DH an offer and BIL should accept that would let DH be at peace with this. But this should be private between them - don't get all involved/actually better if you don't know the details. You are not to be discussing it with your family - you do and you blow the whole deal. One last thing ~ it wasn't the best form for this BIL to spring-this on everyone, getting many excited with the anticipation that this was happening - without speaking privately first to the adults involved.[/quote]

Don't have your husband do this.  He either goes or stays home.

He will look like a  jealous sore loser if he broaches this.  The BIL is providing a very generous family gift that all adults and children are excited about.   The OP's husband will be frowned upon for making waves.[/quote]
