[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My in-laws used to take the kids to a resort or a guided tour (Costa Rica, Europe, Iceland). The kids started paying their own airfare once out of grad school. Once the kids got married, in-laws switched to renting a very nice beach house or a condo at a nice ski mountain and kids pay for their own transportation there. The in-laws pay for lodging. They would gladly pick up the tab for all food, but the adult children take turns paying for groceries, coffee/smoothie runs, and dinner takeout. Kids pay for their own family’s lift tickets, lessons, activities, and souvenirs. 
[b]We don’t really keep track, but the more successful siblings pick up more times or more expensive meals. It’s possible the in-laws help the less successful kids with airfare or other things and we don’t know about it [/b]- but it’s none of my business. [/quote]

More successful vs less successful siblings? Sure does seem like you’re keeping track - of sibling’s wealth and status and who pays for what. Gross. Hope these people aren’t aware of how you categorize them and the assumptions you make. [/quote]

Wow.  Project much?  Your jealousy and insecurities are coming through in crazy loud waves from your post.  DP.[/quote]
