[quote=Anonymous]OP, my in-laws used to do the same. They would rent a (not nice) beach house for the summer and expect us all to come. We would buy food for our family and to cook one group dinner as well as alcohol for us, and a day and a half later, it would all be gone because no one else thought they needed to pay for ANY food or beverages. Without a fridge in our room (seriously, even if we bought a mini fridge how would we have enough space to hold all our own food for a week for four people?), we had no choice but to keep our food in the main kitchen. We even labeled it. Didn't matter. After three years of that (the first year we were horrified, the second year we tried to avoid the problems by planning ahead, the third year we tried even harder to plan ahead and make clear what everyone was doing and even made it clear during the week what was going to happen), we just said we were done doing the trip. Best decision ever. [/quote]
