[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.

I can’t know I have the highest net worth, but I have the highest paying job by a long shot and make enough that avoiding drama by offering a per family split rather than per bedroom was not a real sacrifice for us.

As far as breakfast, here was thought process, understanding I’ve decided to let this one go. My kids (it’s me and two teens) generally do a carb (oatmeal, bagel, cereal) and some coffee for breakfast. I don’t expect there to be no food, but the
Other folks are big eggs, bacon, hefty breakfast people, and if I asked for what we really wanted - a can of Quaker Oats and a few bagels and cream cheese - it would also most certainly get used in the mix by Thursday morning. But I’m sure there will be something we can eat, so, again, letting this one go. (Unless bagels fit in my carry on)

I think saying "Can you buy a can of Quaker Oats for us, and put it aside so we can have it Thursday?" or "We'd love a bag of cinnamon raisin bagels and some cream cheese for Thursday!"  is reasonable. They asked you what to put on the list.  Surely they didn't mean "What should we put on the list and then eat before you get there?"

I think "Can you make sure not to eat all the bagels and cereal?" is passive aggressive.  [/quote]
