Sister-In-Law insists we stay in expensive hotel when getting together. Am I wrong to stand my ground? |
My family lives about 400 miles away from my wife's sister's family. Financially, they are doing very well. We started getting together around Christmas and meeting half way between our homes. They have older children and have taken a liking to a hotel that costs $170 - $250 a room and has a big indoor water park. We have small children and want to be able to keep an eye on them in a less chaotic swimming environment. There are some very nice hotels with indoor pools and water slides that cost more around the $85-$110 range that work very well for our family. This has become a point of conflict for us. My sister-in-law thinks that we both have good jobs and should be able to afford the more expensive hotel. We've told her it's too expensive for us and doesn't meet our needs. They don't want to get together this year and cited our inflexibility as the reason. They also don't want us to stay in two different hotels and get together for dinners and such. Am I wrong? You are in the right here. If you discussed your rationale and tried to reason with her, and she still is having issues with you and refuses to go this year, she is being dramatic for the purpose of being dramatic. It really becomes not worth the hassle of dealing with this family member. hell no u aint in the wrong.. stand ya ground you are looking for conflict and you've found it...it's once a freaking year...bet it would be a different story if it was your sister...you have been very successful in finding reasons not to go to the nicer hotels; try to find a few the other way. well hotel choosing shouldnt matter between families you should be somewhere where your comfortable and your very much thinking of your kids so do it for them an expensive hotel isnt going to change your plans, with your family at least it shouldnt, money isnt everything i can make you happy ya but not as long as being with people you love, and no your not wrong for standing your ground do what you think is right for your family there is nothing wrong with staying in two different hotels, im sure you will have a great time, anyway i mean its not like your in a different country or anything like that, just a little ways away in the same city dont see why thats a big problem but like i said do what you think is right for you and what makes you happy as well as your family the heck with what she thinks..she isn't paying the bill so she doesn't get a vote... I wouldn't even get together with this kind of interference...my money...i spend it where i say....she wants to pay our hotel bill..no prob...anyway..where's the love..wheres the fun..yuck...start your own family traditions..with just your kids.... Wrong? no, BUT..what does your wife think? The whole time you were writing and explaining..you didn't mention what your wife would like to do. Maybe she like the the expensive hotel, maybe she wants to get together with her family, and the cost isn't that big of a factor to her. I totally agree with you, but if I were in your shoes, I think I would open the wallet and go with the expensive hotel if my wife wanted to go. Yes, I agree with you the sister-in-law maybe pushing this to far, the other motel would be just as good if not better. I have stayed at flea bags and I have stayed at the 250 a night..I find middle priced better all the way around. I don't wasting money just because...I would rather put it to a good use. It's your call, your sister in law is making you the bad guy. Are you going to call her bluff? Or are you going to fork out the extra dough so the family can be together for the holiday. Please ask your wife... God bless us all............ |
