[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This happens to us a lot too, at our inlaw's lake house (others leaving early and not cleaning up after themselves or helping with any of the chores). If they say anything, they say "oh, we'll leave our food in the fridge for you all to eat!" not getting that really, it's just extra food we have to either throw away or slop home in watery coolers. Or "we'll leave the rafts and noodles for you to enjoy," meaning we have to trudge them up to the boat house and find someplace to store them. More work for us!

Alas, I've just embarrassed myself with this complaint. Wahh, poor me, we have a lake house to use when we want, and people give us food and water toys!  :) [/quote]

Honestly, I think you should just say, "thanks, but no, we don't need the food. Please throw it out." Or "we will not use the noodles so would prefer you it them back before you leave."[/quote]

+1 I even say that I don't want to carry more stuff up or back home. I tell them to take back what they brought. That it the standing rule in our family. [/quote]

You pack it, you bring it back. [/quote]
