[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My MIL is very rigid about stuff too. Likes to sleep in til 9-10 then takes over an hour to even get ready for breakfast. Spouse is not really a morning person but will be if needed. I’m a morning person and so is my kid so sometimes we’re almost ready for lunch jt the time she wants breakfast. What’s sad is I can tell my FIL would like to eat with me and the kid but then she gives him a guilt trip so he waits. I’m at the point though we here I just say what I want to do and they can join me or not. In your situation can you compromise on a big breakfast together on the first day, or last day? Then eat separately the other mornings? That might appease everyone as a compromise. [/quote]

It sounds tricky if ILs are waiting for the OP's family to get up and then start cooking breakfast with an assumption that they will all eat together.   OP, you'd have to do something like take your family out for breakfast.  Just really change things up.  This morning we're going to walk and grab coffee and bagels.  See you later!  [/quote]
