[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldnt mind and would encourage them to help themselves.  If there's anything off limits, just hide it or tell them it's off limits.  If they are staying for 2 weeks, I'd imagine they would go through a lot of food.  You could also let them know the closest supermarkets near you so they can do some food shopping while they are there.[/quote]

OP here! They don't do grocery shopping. Plus even if they decide to go they ask DH for credit card[/quote]

NP here! **************Then don't stock expensive food in your house during their visits. PROBLEM SOLVED!**********************[/quote]

Its holiday time plus we don't get enough notice in advance. We come to know 3-4 days before. By then, I already have stuff @ home. Plus I keep stuff around for kids[/quote]

Are your inlaws Asian? If they ask for your dh's credit card, they must have the expectation that they are to be financially taken care of.  Either way, for me, food is one area that I wouldn't withhold or get cheap about.  If it's too much of a financial burden on you, then limit their stay.[/quote]
