[quote=Anonymous]Wow.  Just wow.  So much of everybody thinking the world revolves around them and them alone.

My sibling with 2 children lives about an hour away.  My parents and a couple of first and second cousins live here. I frequently host, because we can fit everyone and when the kids were little (older teens now), I had the toys, where as the other relatives had older kids and the toys were gone.

It is frequently big family dinners that I prepare, sometimes with my moms help.  My sister will sometimes pick up lunch for our 2 families on her way here, but more often than not, they arrive hungry and I am happy to feed them.

I could care less if someone suggests eating out v eating in, we will discuss as a group and do it.  We are all happy to be together and enjoying the time together.  The food is never the focal point (well, maybe at Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter...).

Last weekend they were up for my parents anniversary.  We grilled steaks for my parents and the other red meat eaters (7 people total), chicken for those who don't eat red meat (4 people), and veggie burgers for the 3 vegetarians.  I also prepared all the sides, and my sibling brought desserts.

It was fun, and while it was time and money to buy and prepare the meal, the time celebrating with our parents and my family (sibling + family and a cousin + family) make it worth it.
