That's funny.  I have a large vacation home where my kids come to stay often.  If they visit when I am there, I spend hours cleaning and childproofing for grandkids, I do all of the laundry for towels, bedding, etc. I do all of the grocery shopping, cooking or pay for all meals.  I finally got frustrated that they treated me and my house like a free hotel.  I ask them to make the beds with clean sheets before they leave, to empty their trash and to hang up their towels to dry.  If staying in a hotel is preferable, knock yourself out.

The moral of the story is that family members should communicate.[/quote]

A beach house is different than someone visiting their parents’ home in rural Pennsylvania whatever for the holidays, and you know it. Don’t act cute. We get it, you needed us to know you have a beach house.[/quote]

DP. Wut? I empathize with pp and it has nothing to do with a beach house. When I was married, XSIL and XBIL used to show up for major holidays and announce they believe guests should never have to do anything like cooking or cleaning. Oh, and great news, they have a week off to stay with us, and can they bring their puppy.

There went our entire vacation. XDH and I both worked full time, and this killed us. Until I made XDH tell them to shorten their stays to 3 days. [/quote]

They probably pegged you as a future ex and moved accordingly. [/quote]
