[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When we have family guests and I am working, I feel responsible for feeding them a decent dinner. I have breakfast, lunch and snack items on hand that they can feed themselves. They are also more than welcome to go to the grocery store to get any preferred items. It's nice if they cook a meal but I certainly don't expect it UNLESS the visit is billed as a "helping" visit, where they are there specifically to help out vs be a guest. [/quote]

And how often have you had family guests stay with you for 2+ weeks when you aren't on vacation/off from work yourself?[/quote]

With one side of the family living outside of the US and the other out west, several times a year. I cook dinner for my family every night-why wouldn't I cook for guests? That's not to say that the majority of our visitors just sit around waiting to be fed. Many times they'll let us know that they are going to be out for the day and will not return in time for dinner.

YOU cook dinner for your family every night? I'd like to know how your partners/spouse helps out. [/quote]

I do, except Tuesdays when I work late so my spouse cooks. I work every other weekday until 3 so he gets the kids ready and does drop off every morning. I enjoy cooking, so I also cook on the weekends. Believe me, I have PLENTY of other "default parent" complaints but doing the majority of the cooking is not one of them! [/quote]
