[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They expect a hot lunch every day.  Refuse to eat cold cuts and make a sandwich, so they eat leftovers for lunch.  This means I have to make a fresh dinner every night they are here.  [/quote]

I’m so glad my ILs are visiting someone else! Do they also eat the ingredients of the dinner you have planned for that night, which you discover after a long day at work when you go to cook that evening’s meal? I’ve taken to putting ingredients in brown bags, taping them shut, and writing “JIM DO NOT EAT: TUESDAY’S DINNER” on the outside....

I once came home to find they’d eaten the entire quart of tomato sauce I’d defrosted for that night’s dinner. [/quote]

The food in our house gets depleted fast when they eat - this includes fresh fruit and bread every other day, all staples, raw ingredients, frozen proteins from Costco, all snacks, all drinks, all sweets for sure. They never offer to replace it, even though they eat 3 meals a day plus snacks in our house while we are all at work and school all day. This happens every single 3 week visit. Never offer to take us out to a restaurant either. [/quote]

Shorter visits, duh.[/quote]
