Some friends of mine had their daughter and son-in-law move in with them temporarily, along with the two grandkids, because they moved here from out-of-state and have to find jobs, housing, etc. The woman of the house has been doing almost all the cooking for everyone to give her daughter a break until they got settled. It's been a month now, and the daughter hasn't made any move to take over some of the meal planning and cooking. Her husband is very picky and expects alot, and the only food he will eat is expensive, and the parents have been buying all the groceries. What should the mom do? How should she approach her daughter about this? She feels bad because her daughter does have a baby and a little kid to deal with, but... what do you think? What kind of arrangement / trade-off would be practical? As is, their mealtimes are chaotic and stressful. I was over there last night. It was crazy.
