[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Renting a house across the country with relatives - three other nuclear family units. We are the most well off, financially, and this trip means a lot to my mother - we are going to spend thanksgiving with older members of her famiky who can’t travel, so we didn’t want to nickel and dime things. House has six bedrooms, and we are totally fine with our nuclear family just in one, and we offered to pay 1/4 of rental price for simplicity. Due to work, most folks are arriving Monday and we arrive Wednesday night. Also of note, love my family, but they are total slobs!

We made two requests.

1) one of the other families has two rooms - one for parents, one for two teens. The teens assumed they could split up and use our room while we weren’t there. I said “no.” There is no way that room/bathroom won’t  be a wreck when we arrive, and I’d like a clean space for the three of us.

2) another family is grocery shopping. We are paying for the full thanksgiving meal (ordered) and rest of families are splitting a grocery order bill for the rest of the week. We hardly need this, as we in the shared house for three  breakfasts only, but it will be Wednesday evening before thanksgiving when we arrive. I appreciated the offer just to let us add to the order, but I asked if they could just add some coffee to the list if no one else wanted it around and maybe set aside some bagels or some cereal, so it’s there when we get there. Maybe I’m being too precious about this? But I have no way of getting food for Thursday and Friday morning short of bringing it myself, and I know from experience people will just eat what is there communally. [/quote]

I would be pissed if they used my room (are they going to wash the sheets and towels? unlikely!).

I also think you can place your own grocery order for the stuff you want and have it delivered Wednesday evening. [/quote]
