[quote=Anonymous]I’m 45 and my in-laws still pay for vacations and graciously included me even before I was engaged. They stopped paying for flights once each of their children was an adult with a paying job - some went to grad school so it was longer for them.

The in-laws pay for the main lodging - beach house, ski condo, etc. We do not have any say in what they select or who gets what room, but they are pretty reasonable and it’s not an issue. We buy flights for our family of four. If it’s a ski trip, we buy our own life tickets and schedule lessons for kids that we also pay for. If there is an activity we want to do with the kids like a a museum or tour, we invite the grandparents and buy their tickets with ours. The grandparents pay for most meals and incidentals, but if it’s a beach house or airb&b situation we will do the “big” grocery run to stock the fridge. We always pick up the dinner check one night - usually the “fanciest” most expensive night. They don’t ask us to pitch in anything, but they accept when we offer. [/quote]
