[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m with 1204. For me, it’s easier to just accommodate than get irritated and resentful. I might feel initially cranky about it, but I’d rather be the house where people feel welcome, than have to go to everyone else all the time.

So, I buy some basic breakfast items, stock some lunch items, and as I’m making dinner for our family anyway, it’s not really that far of a stretch to make a few extra chicken breasts, another rack of ribs, and some extra salad (or whatever). I might need to quickly throw together a grocery order for pickup, but it’s not really that huge of a burden to feed and make people feel welcome. [/quote]

This is me.  I just can't live my life being cranky and resentful, and I am much happier when family stay with us rather than at a hotel.  I really don't see the problem.  I would give them a heads up that you won't be available to take a day off and tour or play with them any of the days so they'll be on their own during the daytime.  But it doesn't seem like much to have some extra breakfast stuff in the house and then to cook a bit more for dinner.[/quote]
