[quote=Anonymous]I’m so sorry OP. This is a tough position. As other posters pointed out, you need to find a solution before resentment builds up. I feel for your DH, as I have been in a similar situation. He might be fearing his mothers’s reaction as it is quite possible that she will have hurt feelings. I don’t quite understand how and why some relatives just assume that it is ok for family members to be paying for trips and other things (including tagging along extended family who have no interest in our family) over and over again just because someone is in a better financial situation (never mind sacrifices and hard work that have allowed for some of us to do well financially). 
We kept quiet about financial part of the problem for a very long time until we realized that our kids are being ignored in this process (by the very same relatives). I complained and tried to explain, but faced a downfall that might have not been worth it. I wish you the best in trying to find a good solution for everyone involved. Just be kind to yourself and DH.[/quote]
