[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm  not sure why people go through these elaborate theatrics. We have family like this. [b]I bring our own cooler and tell people to keep out of it. It's our food when we are hungry. I have teen boys and they eat a ton And I simply say that. I'm not a child. If I want something to eat I'm going to eat it. [/b]Other family members trash talk about the said relative that has no food in the house and end up heading out also and buy their own stuff. Being direct helps everyone.

Regardless, I'm not playing games and I'm bot going to be miserable for the trip.[/quote]

How that would go in my parents house:

[b][i]I am come in the house carrying the cooler[/i]
[/b]
Mom:  Taylor, what is that?
Me:  Oh just some food I brought in case we get hungry
Mom:   Oh I have plenty of food you won't be hungry.   But go ahead and unpcack it, there's room in the fridge.
Me:  Well we were just going to keep in the bedroom with us.
Mom:   No!  No food in the bedroom!   I don't want to get ants!
Me:  But mom...
Mom:  My house!  My rules!   Food in the bedroom will attract rodents!

So then we are required to keep the food in the kitchen.  And then during the long compulsory fasting period between 7 am and 7 pm the kitchen is guarded by mom who will flip out if you try to get a snack--from her stash or yours.
And then there is a fight.
And you leave and spend the next few days in a hotel.[/quote]

Honestly, I would go so far as to bring a mini fridge.  You can use it in the garage later. [/quote]
