[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your DH is great. Your ILs suck, sorry. They don't need to be adding to your mental load. Unless they have limited mobility or are still working busy jobs, they should figure this out. I would not bother making this trek to visit them again.[/quote]

Op here - my in laws are in their 60s! MIL is a homemaker for goodness sake. It’s beyond me how she can’t manage to meal plan for us and cook (we help every time too and she knows this). It’s the mental load that is driving me batty. [/quote]

OP, 10 days is 30 meals for how many people? At least 8 guests so at least 10 total? I actually don't blame your MIL. It's a little different than you having to include 2 additional adults in your home. Also, were you invited for that amount of time or did you want to stay that long because it's a big trip.

But I agree if DH requested the emails go to him, they should go to him. And take out is a perfectly acceptable option, as is filling in "cereal, bagels, and coffee" and "deli sandwiches" for lunch.[/quote]
