[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your SIL chose to prioritize her family finances a certain way. She chose education for her kids over a big house, for example.[b] She also chooses not to spend their income on vacations. Sounds pretty responsible to me.

Your DH, sounds like a great brother. He would rather foot the bill than not have his sisters family included on a family vacation. How many times to we see people blast families for spending money on vacations instead of things like education?

You sound really judgmental. And there is a huge difference between the costs for childcare and after care for 2 kids vs 3. Many families of 3 kids find it more economical for one parent to stay at home. [/quote]

No way.  It's not reasonable when she's also bitching and whining about she's too poor (on her 180K income, by the way) to go on vacation, and is ASKING her brother to pay for the WHOLE family.  Not just to chip in, he's paying for the whole family. That's ridiculous.  My brother and his wife make probably 3-4x what we make more than us and are very generous with gifts, but we would NEVER, EVER say we are poor to them and ASK them to pay for something like a family vacation.   The sister and husband sound like they are the selfish, entitled ones, not OP.
