Summary
Dear Carson: My sister-in-law is planning a party for my in- laws' anniversary. She basically planned everything herself, up to who is invited and where the party will be held. She now expects each of her siblings to pay for the party in equal shares. Some of the grandchildren are grown, with their own incomes and families. Shouldn't they, at least, pay their own way? Also, we were never consulted on a budget for this celebration.
My husband and I aren't wealthy, and we have two children to support. My husband's brothers are millionaires, and his sister is married to a surgeon. Am I being petty in thinking this is lopsided, as far as who pays for what? How can we diplomatically decide who pays how much?
