[quote=Anonymous]It sounds like your ILs are on a family vacation and you are at some kind of fitness retreat.

You are both wrong! Why would you rent a house NEXT DOOR to the little house if you don’t expect the family next door to come hang out there? The asking you to make them food is clearly rude and odd, but you knew that. But it sounds like your perfect vacation would involve zero time with your in-laws…so then why are you even there?! And you brought YOUR sister and other guests? My head is spinning with all the details.

Next time, set expectations up front. You will overlap with the whole family for 5 days, and during those days you will be more go with the flow and actually hanging out with the family instead of working out every day and going to bed at 9. No need for elaborate breakfasts, but clearly some sort of schedule needs to be made in advance for who is responsible for which meal. Print it out and hang it up.

Then the other 5 days, either before or after everyone else leaves, you will do your own thing with the 5am running and yoga and whatever. [/quote]
