You shouldn't have to pay for him. If he wants to go then he can pay for a room. I certainly wouldn't expect my BF's mom to pay for me to do anything.
I don't know the guy but you seem to dislike him a lot, right from the get go. Is he not treating your daughter properly? I honestly don't get your irritation over Christmas. This past Christmas I was only with BF a year but I wanted him to spend the holiday with me. It is easy since it is at my house but if it were at my mom's and she pitched a fit, I would spend the holiday elsewhere. Granted, I am not a serial dater and would never bring different men home all of the time (more so because I have children). But once a relationship goes beyond dating to exclusive, I do not see anything wrong with wanting to include your BF/GF in your holiday celebrations.
I don't like him and neither does DS and his girlfriend so it's not just me. I'm not going to pay his way. Hopefully she will consider that before making a mistake!

I always try to pick up the check but someone always beats me to it.

I can't put my finger on it and neither can DS and his girlfriend but something is "off."

That's a thought. There used to be a place where you could do that for $250.

He was just loud and talked a lot and was a bit obnoxious. My whole family felt that way about him. He wasn't criminal ( that we know), graduated college and had a job. We were not upset when they broke up.

I always try to pick up the check but someone always beats me to it. I was wondering why you always come to dinner with both arms in slings, like you had two broken arms!

I have to admit I would feel positively embarrassed about asking my brand new boyfriend to come on a trip like this. Maybe after we've been together for a couple of years but not in the beginning. My mother and I did a couple of trips away and DH, DBF at the time, did not go with us. Would have been too weird. That may just be me though. You guys are very different from my mother! No way she'd pay for a BF to share a hotel room. She'd have told me he could get his own room and pay for it if he wanted to come with us!
