[quote=Anonymous]Update, if anyone is interested.  I took several people's advice about buying the food as an act of love for my husband.  My husband and I went to the store together and spent $1,000 on food and drinks (we had brought stuff down for our two dinners and the other dinners were supposed to be covered by the in-laws).  My mother-in-law got mad at us for buying so much, and multiple times said she was planning to go to the store the next day and make my sister-in-law go the day after so that everyone would contribute.  My mother-in-law even showed me her grocery list as "proof" of her intentions - it said "milk, bread, water bottles, raisin bran."  We explained that there was still a lot to get (i.e. the two meals my sister-in-law was supposed to contribute), more bags of chips, cans of soda, etc.  My husband pointed out that no one had told us what not to get (and I had even showed our shopping list to my mother-in-law before we went to the store), and that if we were going to have sandwiches for lunch tomorrow, we couldn't exactly wait for someone to buy the bread, mayo, mustard, etc.  Sister-in-law and her family still didn't clean up after themselves or do their own dishes, but my mother-in-law acted like their maid the whole time and never said anything to them, so that's her battle to fight, not mine.  Anyway, long story short, I appreciate people's thoughts on how to handle the situation.[/quote]
