[quote=Anonymous]When we go to the beach with friends or family, each person / family does one breakfast, one lunch, and one dinner. Then there’s days when we do our own things and grab donuts for breakfast, eat lunch or dinner out, etc.

Some people’s breakfast contribution ends up being a box of cereal and others prepare crab cake Benedict with mimosas and Bloody Marys. The variety is nice (and not always having to plan every meal is better). Some people like to spread out their meal responsibilities, or do a combo. of easy and more complicated.

I’ll admit that I prefer to do my family’s 3 meals all on the same day. I hate sharing a kitchen and despise cleaning up after other people’s cooking. This way I spend an enjoyable day in the kitchen / at the house, cooking what I want to cook. Frankly, time alone is nice. The rest of the week, I’m truly on vacation.

OP, sounds like your family enjoys this. Maybe you could ask about it. Maybe you could contribute in ways that don’t require being chained to the stove. As someone else suggested, bring the drinks, desserts, treat everyone to dinner out, etc. [/quote]
