[quote=Anonymous]We have this problem too OP. Last time we visited, my ILs had other family members over for dinner plus us, so 6 adults and 3 kids. They cooked one package of chicken, one can of green beans and put out 8 rolls because "the kids could split one." It is most definitely not a financial thing. We had just arrived from the opposite coast so hadn't been able to do our usual stop by the store to get actual food trip. I ended up with one chicken wing, one half a roll and 3 green beans because at least I could go out later and get food while the kids needed to go to bed and I'd rather they have the food.

And, on the opposite side, my ILs eat everything that's not nailed down when they visit us. To the point that if there are ingredients I need for dinner that night I have to put them ina stapled shut bag in the fridge and write "Dinner for 3/5/17" on it or else I will get home from work to find that the meat I intended to cook for dinner is gone or they ate all 10 tomatoes that were supposed to be for the salad. I have no idea where they put the food. And they say things like "we never eat as well as we do when we vacation at your house." Um, yea, because normally people control themselves and budget and don't polish off 5 containers of raspberries in a day!!!!! Who can afford that?? Certainly not me, now I only buy bananas and oranges when they come because they quadrupled my grocery budget for a 5 day visit! [/quote]
