[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Either my parents pay or we split, unless we are specifically taking them out for a birthday/special occasion.

We don’t eat out with my ILs. It’s more stress than it’s worth for multiple reasons. Sometimes we will order in pizza. They never offer a dime. They have way more money then we do. It’s obnoxious to host them for weeks on end and have to provide everything.[/quote] What happens when you visit them?[/quote]

They never order take out or go out (they live a distance from anything like that anyway) and we are in one of those never any food in their house situations. They once had one package of chicken for 6 adults and 4 children. Along with one can of green beans and one package of dinner rolls because “the children can split a roll.” And my SIL was pregnant at the time and my husband and his brother are both over 6’5”. The grocery store is also 30 minutes from their house. We now buy all the food while we visit and they complain because their daily entertainment prior to COVID was a trip to the grocery store every day to buy exactly 4 slices of lunch meat, exactly 2 slices of cheese, 2 rolls, and one apple to split.
