My sister in law lives a bit far, came to visit and now we planned an impromptu birthday party for the mom and everyone wants to chip in for her plane tickets. She’s married and has no kids, she and her husband work. I feel resentful that we have to chip in yet we have kids and we are funding a luxury. Why can’t she save properly? She’s been working for more than 10yrs. We already paid for her uber from the airport. She’s a negative Nancy and wants to visit again. Am I wrong in feeling this way?

I don't love paying for my in-laws flights and have some feelings about it too, but i've realized this is life and they won't come visit us unless we do. And maybe this is just the nice gift I can give to her because she made and raised my husband, so i take it from that POV.
