[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here- I guess I'm asking, what makes my SILs want to prepare every single meal from scratch- like homemade pancakes (flour, egg, etc), homemade pizzas, homemade salad dressings, homemade noodles.  Dozens of pots/pans/ cooking utensils for every meal...

Why not just go the simple route?  the kids and dads don't care if they eat cereal or carryout or PB&J sandwiches, so why do they overengineer every meal?

I work full-time in an office, so I WANT to be OUTSIDE with the kids as much as possible.
Basically, I want a real vacation.  Not a new full-time kitchen job for a week.[/quote]

I'm with you, OP! I love to cook, but not on vacation. [/quote]

OK? No one is stopping either you or OP. No one has so much has asked OP to cook or anything. Like, why does it matter to you how other people like to spend their vacation time?[/quote]

Just sending solidarity to OP...you know it's possible for everyone to do what they want on vacation! Don't be so defensive about it. [/quote]
