[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 445912, member: 2211"] Well it appears that H is going to roll over, ugh. He said he's going to tell his brother he has no money and ask him to cover his portion and that he will pay brother back, but, of course, with no intention of doing so. Why is it so difficult for some people to simply be straight forward? Why cany H just tell his brother, 'Nope, sorry, bro, no can do. Let's find another way to do this that is more affordable. What does Mom want?'. H is convinced that this was all brother in law's planning, and he's probably right. But H feels that his mother shouldn't have to pay for it since she likely was bulldozed by brother in law. I think we should receive people back at mother in law's place after the church service, buy a few bottles of wine, maybe some beer (no liqour), and round it out with some nice cold cut platters and rolls. Simple, inexpensive. Most people dont hang for hours boozing it up at funerals do they? Or am I out of touch? This just seems ostentatious and a tad exorbitant! Thanks again for all the support through this. Nightmare! [/QUOTE]
