Mother-In-Law charging Family Members $21 Each For Christmas Lunch

A woman posted on a parenting website about her Mother-In-Law planning to charge each family member who comes to the house for Christmas lunch $21. Her mother-in-law decided to have lunch catered this year instead of cooking herself and wants the money to cover the higher cost. The woman herself isn't actually going because she'll be with her family, but her husband is very upset about the $21 fee. She actually has sympathey for her mother-in-law, while still being critical, saying, "I can see it from both sides and it's hard work and can be expensive, but it's not like she is financially destitute." The responses to the post were a mixed bag, some people horrified by the idea and others saying charge away Mama.
