[quote=Anonymous]They are probably nervous and having anxiety about how to feed everyone (from a practical standpoint but maybe also financial) but not ready to admit they aren’t equipped to host as they have in the past anymore. We experienced this and just had to take control of the food and pretty much all menu planning and prep for family visits. Don’t discuss it-just let them know it’s handled. And I’m sorry because it’s not at all relaxing for you! Order meat by the lb and the sides from a local bbq place for the 4th. Buy festive paper goods. Pizza and salad delivery the evening everyone arrives. Eat breakfast on your own each day. Bring a large cooler to house drinks that you either bring on the road or purchase there. Can also bring some non perishables in the car (chips, condiments, juice boxes etc) Grocery shop when you get there for fruit, popsicles, lunch stuff for the other days. Good luck![/quote]
