[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This sounds like inlaws have assumed that you and your dh have assumed the role of the previous grandparents with the large house who (I assume) did everything they are now asking of you.

Does your dh secretly want to take over from the grandparents with a larger house and be the "big man" who treats everyone and you have to help him? Because that's what it sounds like. [/quote]

I agree, but even then, it is super weird to demand a big breakfast.  Although that does not really ring true.  How could they demand to eat food that was not there. If OP’s family eats simple breakfasts, why would there be food to make all that stuff?  [/quote]

Maybe they are assuming that OP and her husband did bring bacon and eggs because grandma always had them ready to make a big breakfast.[b] I agree with others having others treat the home that OP rented is not such a big deal.[/b] The food thing sounds awful. I would make a plan with DH about how you want to approach the rest of the family and then set some boundaries: "I know nana always ran the kitchen during beach week, but we aren't up for doing all the cooking. Let's make a plan for next year. Do you want adults to sign up to make meals for the whole group or should it be every person for themselves?"[/quote]

I mean ... it's one thing to send the kids over to play at the bigger rental.  It's a much different thing to invite your own friends over to host a dinner there, without discussing it with the actual renter!  [/quote]
