I asked dp last night what we were buying for MIL for xmas and he said that we are putting together with the 2 bro's to pay for flight tickets to Dubai (she is off to a wedding there next year) which is fine- he does go OTT with his mum but she is very kind/ generous to us and ds so its ok.
But then he added that they would have to pay for her DP as well as obviously she is not going to go on her own. Is it just me or is that really too much??! We all paid for her for a weekend in a luxury London hotel last year and paid for MIL's DP's train tickets (and he stayed in her room obviously!) which he was really greatful for but I just think that paying for a flight to Dubai for them both is just too much! I know this sounds really mean and he is lovely but its just that he never pays for anything. If we take his mum out for a birthday/ mothers day meal, the bros' just pay for everyone between the three of them including her DP and he has never once in ten years said that he would pay this time.
To be fair I don't think he expects to be paid for but he doesnt exactly "put up a fight" iykwim.
What would you do?
