[quote=Anonymous][quote] It can cost much, much more. Our MIL wanted to cook every meal from scratch using fresh, organic ingredients and we were spending over $500 weekly in groceries. It was not the food she ate herself, it was the way of life that she forced on everyone that was making life with her very very expensive. Maybe OP's mother will merely join as an extra plate/bed in which case the cost would be minimal. But what some people fail to grasp here is that its often not that simple when someone joins your household (especially a parent used to having her way with her children for years).[/quote] In that case - I'd say "well, then, you need to buy groceries. That would put our expenses WELL over normal. We can't afford to eat like that."[/quote]
