OP and her DH have different hosting vacation styles. His family operates under the principle that what's yours is mine, seemingly with no regard to pitching in or making and sticking to plans. OP is more structured and was frustrated by the assumption that every bit of food and drink in their vacation house or in their coolers on the beach are a free for all.

OP, I am pretty much on your side here. If your husband was ok with his family acting the way they did then he should have been the one that catered to their needs. I find it bizarre that they treated the beach house like their beach house. It's a weird assumption to make and it's incredibly inconsiderate not to re-stock wine or other beverages or just take sandwiches that someone else made without asking if it's ok to take one.

My husband comes from a family of five kids. There's rarely enough for seconds at a family meal because they inhale food, and no one makes any apology or really thinks about leaving food for others if they are being served first. That said, there's no way any of them would rummage in a cooler of sandwiches they knew someone else made for the beach without asking.[/quote]
