[quote=Anonymous]She plans out the meals but depends on you to be sous chef & clean up crew? You definitely are within reason to say something. Maybe "hey Mom, you know I love your cooking and look forward to it every time you visit, but Monday nights are just really tight for us as family. We only have XX minutes to cook and get dinner on the table before we need to get the bedtime routine started in order for the kids to be in bed on time. Then after that, DH & I only have YY time together before we need to hit the hay to be well-rest for work so we can only really manage meals that can be quickly made & quickly cleaned up on Mondays. I hope I don't sound like a Debbie Downer, but let's plan for that lovely lamb roast on night when we can all enjoy it properly - how's Friday for you?"[/quote]
