[quote=Anonymous]Reading this thread makes me so very, very, very thankful for my big, crazy southern family.  I'm also really glad I married someone with a similar cultural, family, and religious background.  Marriage is hard enough without adding all this shit to it.

First - House guests for several weeks?  I would go insane!  My parents and my in-laws come visit twice a year for about 3-4 days max!  No way would they expect me to entertain them for weeks at a  time.  My sisters and brothers plus their kids might come once a year but we usually meet somewhere neutral.  We see everyone when we go home a couple of times a year.

Second - Guests eat whatever I cook. I do try to cook things that I know they like.  Both my parents and my in- laws are really easy to please.  And they always take us out to eat at least once.

On the flip side, when we go visit them it would never in a million years occur to me to ask them to purchase specific foods for us.  My kids never got special meals either.  They have learned to eat whatever is served to them with a gracious thank you.
