[quote=Anonymous]I hear you OP.  My parents live in Oregon and visit us once a year.  They usually stay for 4-6 days total.  Before they arrive they send me a detailed shopping list, usually full of things that DH and I don't ever eat.  They don't like to eat out a whole lot, either, but we don't cook, so that gets annoying, since I only cook really simple things.  When we do eat out they expect us to pick up the check every time.  In addition, they don't want to do sightseeing or really leave the house all that much.  On the other hand, they often seem bored and complain that they are not having a good time. They never rent a car when they visit.  They do not cook, clean, or help out with any household chores.  In addition, they criticize my housekeeping constantly and say they don't like our guest room.  They also complain about how much my husband has to work during their visits (I take vacation time for their visits).  Overall, their visits leave me feeling very stressed.
