Dear Dáithí: My stingy, competitive in-laws are ruining my holidays

"This is your husband’s doing and you need to tell him that he needs to sort it, straight up, and no messing. You need to explain to him that he didn’t listen to you and that there is now a problem because of that."

Dear Dáithí,

After a not-so enjoyable experience last year going on holidays with my husband’s family, I asked him if we could go ourselves this year.
