My side of the family of 8 adults, including dh and I, and children are spending Christmas together in a rental property. My mum, her partner, and my brother and bil drink. A lot. Me, not much, and dh the odd beer of an evening. My other brother and sil drink a moderate amount.
Last time we all got together for Christmas I was pregnant and dh and I ended up paying £70 towards the booze bill for the week
. The next time they at least excluded me from calculations but dh ended up contributing over £30 for a long weekend booze bill. He probably had 2 beers.
I'm trying to work out how to address this Christmas. I want to suggest that people bring their own booze but it's not massively practical for some. Can I ask that dh and I just aren't counted in divvying up? My bil in particular likes expensive wine... or am I being scrooge and should just suck it up?
For context, family get togethers are usually very stressful and involve at least one big argument... can't wait
