[quote=Anonymous]I've traveled long distances to visit an older brother at least four times and they will usually leave grocery receipts on the table as a major hint. We write a check to cover it. One year we flew cross country for xmas and when we asked if they needed any basics back at the house, they proceeded to list off the entire xmas dinner list, including the main (prime rib). for sure, we always expected to replace what we eat, but that was odd. now, I just expect to spend at least $100 on replacing groceries for a 3-5 day visit. FWIW, they pulled this on our mom, so it's not a sibling thing. In her case, it included sundries that went beyond what she consumed, and she was shocked but paid. I haven't hosted them so don't know what they would expect should they come to me. Incomes are comparable, with them majorly in the lead. I have no idea what is normal anymore.[/quote]
