[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You just seem filled with bitterness and resentment, OP. Yes, your sister-in-law should have volunteered to contribute some money for groceries. But to fight with your husband about this, and dwell on this for a year, and to draw in so many other examples of how your sister-in-law supposedly is an inferior person...it just suggests this isn't about the groceries at all, but about something else entirely. And it doesn't feel generous or kind.

If you care so much, just don't go grocery shopping. Let your husband handle it. But it would be an act of love to be generous to your in-laws, even if you think they don't deserve it. [/quote]

My husband is one of those people pleaser types and pisses away money constantly trying to kiss everyone's ass and keep the peace.
In your situation he'd probably be dropping $700 every three days of food and meals out for everyone. And his side of the family never even says thank you when your pay their ticket or meal!  
It's maddening to me but ultimately he is very very embarrassed of his family's lack of manners and how self-centered they are.  It is in stark contrast to our other friends and family who visit or that we travel with.
I haven't found a solution yet and my husband has turned to lying about who paid for what so now I don't even take him seriously when his parents are around. I just assume we're down another $500.[/quote]
