[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are being very cheap.  Bread, ham, mayo,  coffe, milk or cereal (cheerios) and a couple of bananas or even eggs are not too expensive to share for 2 weeks. I think the will be happy eatting that.  As the way that you are describing it seems like You will be responsible of "cooking for them).  I don't think you are planning to cook really really breakfast, lunch and dinner for them.  Like a "pot roast"  "chicken with vegetables"  "chicken soups" "spaghetti with sauce and meatballs"  "steak with roasted vegetables" "ribs with potatos" etc.  It you will be planning to cook that for them;  So in that case I will Say that It will be Very expesive to meat Another mouth in the house for 2 weeks.[/quote]

Well, we provide food for AP to make her own breakfast, typically warm up leftovers for her for lunch, and make a homemade dinner for AP every night. We invest in quality ingredients - a typical weekly menu includes handmade pasta, seasonal risotto, homemade pizza, fresh wild fish, local vegetables in a variety of preparations. Our AP is well-fed and our kids are eating the rainbow. Hosting an adolescent male with a normal healthy appetite for 3 weeks is pretty expensive, actually. I would split the baby and take your AP to Costco and load up on frozen food and food that can freeze (croissants, loaves of bread), as well as staples like jams, spreads, tuna, etc. I would explain to her that you’re happy her family member is coming but you won’t be cooking for her or him during their stay, and that’s she welcome to all of the stocked up food, but that beyond that, she and family member are going to need to buy their own groceries or eat out. You won’t touch the stocked up stuff, and she won’t touch the rest of the fridge or pantry unless it’s for kids. [/quote]
