[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can't go gluten free for a week?  That is a problem![/quote]
Give me a break.
Anyone can go gluten free for a week ,but to spring it on someone who does not usually eat that way, whose kids do not eat that way and tell them that they have t research, learn and  have to be extra diligent about being gluten free  -- it's too much. I would not want to spend my vacation having to change my entire diet, having to change my kids diet. Being on vacation means doing what is easy. 
The in-laws are being inconsiderate to take both kitchens.[/quote]

They discussed it weeks and weeks in advance. About 20 minutes of Googling and thinking about what your kids like to eat can result in a 5-day, gluten-free menu plan. For real.[/quote]
Who cares if they did it weeks in advance. If I planned on doing something a certain way on my vacation and now I have to do extra planning and different grocery shopping, that is an inconvienence. Part of vacationing for me is NOT having to plan meals. if there was only one kitchen, I would understand, but these folks are taking up BOTH kitchens, that is not fair.[/quote]

FFS. It is not VACATIONING, y'all! Any way you slice it, it is a remote location with in-laws, children, toddler and a newborn. No one is raining on OP's Turks and Caicos luxury resort dreams. If you are in charge of preparing meals at all during a trip, you have to meal plan, anyway. You have to buy groceries, anyway, regardless whether it is a loaf of bread and peanut butter, or apples and peanut butter.[/quote]
