Pil have invited us to go away for the weekend. They will pay for the place where we will all stay - including bil and his family. Pil are very generous and have given me nothing but kindness.
Here is my problem. Every time we go away with the whole family, bil and sil always get the best rooms. No exception, even when we have paid for the rental. Pil have a clear preference for them that it is shown in many ways. I do not expect to receive anything from PIL, and certainly not any financial help, which they give to bil frequently, but I feel a bit hurt.
I don't particularly like these holidays but dh does - he is very close to his parents - so I don't want to become a wedge between them.
Am I petty to feel disappointed that bil and family will yet again have separate, private and quiet accommodation (sp) to themselves while we get the noisy rooms shared with pil? I will be off with a smile in my face but I am really bothered by this and I am annoyed to feel like this. Also, I am afraid that I will not be able to hide it. Fwiw, bil has two toddlers and we have a toddler and small baby. Sorry for long post. Iabu?
