[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i can't fathom not stocking the fridge with things that people who are visiting like. are there other reasons you dont want them coming? seems like more than a food issue. do they stay in the house because the way they see it - they are visiting you? not dc.

In my case, I'm not the OP, but my ILs have an ever-changing list of needs and wants for their visits. From the mundane to the patently absurd. I couldn't keep up. My H wasn't dealing with it since I run the house errands, they would then arrive and pout and be obnoxious about the fact that I had bought the Kashi cereal they asked for on their last visit to have waiting for them, but they don't eat that anymore, now they want XYZ cereal. They are petulant about it.  They complain about what I cook because they want something else, even though I put my weekly menu up on the fridge and never hear that they don't want it until we sit down to eat.  So I'm just done. I have all sorts of normal foods, bread, lunch meat, cheese, cereal, drinks, fruit, vegetables, etc., stocked and if they want some super special flax seed pie they are on their own.

Also, if they break one more thing at my house while they visit, I may scream. So far in their visits they have broken 2 coffee makers, including a Keurig, a digital thermometer, ruined a set of towels, pulled a wall mounted tv off the wall, jammed a dvd player, cracked a tile, and broke a window. I think that's it, but I may be forgetting something.  [/quote]
