Anyone staying in our house for more than a few days knows to buy and make their own food, regardless of my schedule. I do not have time to shop and cook two additional adults for weeks and weeks. In addition to my schedule, husbands and kids's schedule.

Most houseguests know to bring a gift, offer to cook dinners, take us out to dinner, etc. Living in someone else's house isn't all about freebies.

tell that to my mil. she never offers to cook and rarely offers to buy takeout. instead she announces what she wants, where she wants it from, and expects someone to fetch everything for her.

"John. We have hard boiled eggs, fruit, cottage cheese and English Muffins. Please help yourself to the fridge and pantry and if there is anything else you would like, just let me know and I'll stock it for you."
