[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My brother makes five times the money we do.  He has always included us in vacations every few years.  I started picking up on little things from my SIL.  She would make comments about how much more expensive the place was because of the extra people.  How much more the food was etc.  Then my 4yo  nephew told me that I couldn't use the swimming pool because his dad paid for it and we were too poor.  Of course my nephew heard this from his bitter mother, so that was the end of us joining them.  My brother still invites us and is very sad that we decline.  I don't need my super superior SIL lording it over me.  The sad thing is, we never see them anymore.  SIL actually has tried to smooth things over, but we still decline.[/quote]

Just because your brother makes more money doesn't mean you are entitled to him paying for your family.  sounds like you were mooching. His wife got upset.  Why don't you work it out, especially if she is trying to make peace.  Family is complicated, after all those years of your brother paying you don't get together with him anymore because he doesn't pays. Sounds like you are the super superior one.[/quote]

Yeah well I never said I was entitled to anything.  He invited us, and we accepted.  Hardly mooching, in fact look that word up. We contributed for food and entertainment, and we also gave them a gift card as a thank you.   Lol, I never asked for a thing.  Why in the hell would I work it out?  Especially since you say I was mooching, and obviously that is what my SIL thinks as well?  The thing is, people like my SIL and OP have fun bitching and moaning about the money being spent, but they forget how much fun we have.  And once we stopped going, my SIL was very sad, and realized what a bitch she had been.  I will NEVER go on another brother financed vacation, we will just keep going on our affordable, fun vacations, and they are welcome to join us.  [/quote]

Wow. Did you ever invite them to your affordable vacations? Did you ever offer to pay for the trip?[/quote]
