To think BIL takes the piss?

My dad usually pays for four long weekends away every year. He spends thousands of pounds. He wouldn’t accept us paying towards it.

What annoys me is my brother in law plasters photos of the weekend and conveniently only includes photos of my sister (his wife) and their children in them. None have any of us even in the background or when we’re at the restaurant together etc. he even hid that one of these weekends was for my dads birthday, he made no mention of it or had my dad in any of the photos.

If you’re one of his colleagues or friends you would assume it’s him that’s treated his family to a trip away.

Grown men accepting free trips away isn't attractive however you look at it.

What about a grown woman?

Is he pretending he paid? How? Does anyone care
When I see a lovely family pic I never think 'who paid for that trip?'

Oh I always do! Or wonder how they can afford so many holidays.

I wouldn’t tend to put pictures of other people on social media (certainly without their permission) and I wouldn’t want my BIL putting pictures of me either without my permission.

As for any suggestion of who paid being put online I don’t really think that’s appropriate. I’m assuming they thanked your father in person

I think it’s disgusting to accept £5K worth of a weekend away and then pretend you paid. It was my dads birthday and he put “long weekend away” and literally no mention of my dad. I think it’s gross.

He's not pretending he paid though he simply not discussing finance on social media which is perfect fly normal. It's your attitude that's really weird tbh not his
