[quote=Anonymous]Is this odd to me?

- Getting up at 5 am to work out? Yes, this is odd to me as I am on vacation and prefer walks on the beach and swimming
- Going to bed at 9 pm so I can work out at 5? - Odd to me. Our family/friends stay up late playing games and socializing, which is why we are on vacation together
- Gathering at the largest house? - Not odd to me at all
- Cooking on demand for others? - No way. We either have a rough meal plan or task each couple/family with planning and executing a meal. We do make bacon and eggs one morning for breakfast and pancakes. Cereal, fruit, toast etc available to anyone.
- Sandwiches on the beach? - Yes, but no special orders. I do turkey and cheese and ham and cheese, period. If you or your kid need or want something special, you need to make and label it yourself. (In practice I will make special sandwiches but there aren't many requests in our group.)
- Sharing booze and food - Not odd if it's been agreed to ahead of time. We use Splitr to split grocery costs and everyone has to be okay with kicking in for stuff they don't actually use. I don't drink liquor, for example, but we bring rum and tequila for those who drink it. It works out for us.

Communication is key. Sounds like your husband wants to make this work, so I salute you for trying to figure out how not to lose your sanity in the meantime. I agree with those who say maybe a shorter stay for you would help.[/quote]
