We have historically always spent Xmas Day with MIL as she only has dh and 1 other son.
We tend to host every 2nd year. Last year we hosted for my family and MIL. BIL was with his inlaws.
This year MIL or BIl would normally host. However, they have decided that it would be nice to eat out this year. Great for MIL as we and BIL are paying for her. Not bad for BIL as they are a family of 2.
However, as a family of 5 we are having to spend best part of £160 for 1 meal.
I did point out to dh that it was alot of money to spend especially as dc are unlikely to eat £60 worth of food between them. However, as usual dh goes along with it.
Realise I am probably not thinimg reasonably as this is 1st Christmas without my mum who was always the perfect host.
