[quote=Anonymous]You are so nice and thoughtful, OP. You should explain your situation to them and offer to pay whetever you are comfortable with going forward, and ask them to bring it down a notch for the few days you are there. I am on the flip side of your situation where my BIL & SIL come to our vacation house with their 3 teen kids (who eat A TON) and barely contribute anything. They never offer to buy groceries or comp us. Just the cleaning of a house in a HCOL is north of $200 (depedning on the size; ours is not big, so $240), and I had to have it cleaned before and after them, on top of at least $2k for food for a week-long visit. I think their attitude is, you have more money than us, so you should foot the bill, which IMO is total bs and unfair, esp. considering that my husband and I have worked our a$$es off to have the nice things that we do, whereas they chose to live the way they do and have 9-5 low stress jobs.
