[quote=Anonymous]I have the same problem.  SIL and BIL don't lift a finger (and they have kids!) so after we did all the buying, cooking, and cleaning one year (we also have kids), my husband told his mom that we would not be doing it again unless things changed.  SIL and BIL refused to change, so MIL stepped up.  We just cooked for ourselves and keeping one part of the kitchen clean so we could cook.  We also went out with just us and our kids.  And since we couldn't stop people from eating the food we bought we kept a list when things were consumed and told them they needed to go to the store to replenish, so my MIL did since SIL and BIL couldn't be bothered.  I guess it was worth it to my MIL to have us all together, but we thought it was dumb that she ended up waiting hand and foot on her daughter and son in law while also taking care of their kids, but at least then it was her problem, not ours.  So, OP, I'm sad to say, you're not alone.  Just go in with eyes wide open next time.  If there is a next time...[/quote]
