[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone in this situation is ridiculous. Honestly, if there is a family beach home and a second home is rented next door that is much larger, I can 100% see family assuming that the larger house is the “hang out” house and the smaller house is the “just go sleep there house.” In a family full of normal people, this could totally work fine. In a close family, I could even see friends being invited over that were local.

But people thinking they can demand others cook for them, feed their kids, etc are crazy. If your husband thinks this is cool, I would put every demand back on him. “Your sister would like French toast with bacon and homeade apricot jam. I’m headed for a run, dear.” See if your husband will deal with this nonsense.[/quote]

Let me add. You really need to discuss this with your husband when you are far removed from the trip and decide together what works and doesn’t work. And then HE needs to run interference with his family. For example, I own a large beach house. If I invited my dad and his wife to stay a few days, and they said “hey our friends will be in town, can we invite them for dinner?” I would say “sure.” If they just showed up with their friends unexpectedly and demanded appetizers, I would think they were insane.[/quote]
