[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You’re giving yourself a lot of credit for what you’re paying for but I’m less impressed by your generosity. [/quote]

This. You said you thought your mom was going to pay for Thanksgiving dinner and then she didn't so you just covered it. Does everyone else know that? Is there a reason you didn't have a conversation with your mom about it?

Your whole family seems pretty passive aggressive about money.

If you want them to get you breakfast food, just say, "Hey, for the 3 mornings we are there, we'd like (be extremely specific about what you want) to be available for breakfast. Please add it to the grocery order. I'm happy to kick in $50 for those breakfasts, though it would be great if you guys could cover it since my family paid for Thanksgiving dinner for everyone."[/quote]

We’ve done many big family vacations over the years (OP here again), without staying with each other, and the money has /never/ been a stress. We are pretty good about either just paying for stuff for everyone or being very clear when we aren’t willing to. Seriously, for all the family issues I have, we are quite functional sharing expenses! I really threw that in for context that I was nitpicking every aspect of this vacation… and the clean room was my area of pickiness! [/quote]
