Am I cooking shit or being stingy??

Do you know what they normally eat? It sounds as if they may subsist on junk food. Stick to your guns, if they moan again down tools.

If they’re not happy with “prison food or bird food” maybe suggest that they have a little adventure to the supermarket to buy something their entitled teenagers might consider acceptable. And suggest they can get something to make for dinner for everyone.

I'm afraid I'd tell them to leave, completely out of order, don't take that treatment from anyone, sister or not, you were very good to cook for them at all

Come on, really?

I get organic mince which comes as a 400g pack. I add a whole onion, courgette, pepper and mushrooms and this feeds a family of four (two week girls) with enough leftovers for 2-3 portions. With garlic bread and pasta that’s absolutely plenty.

regardless this isn’t the point. If you’re a big eater and that’s not enough, then get yourself what you want on top!

@gayestgal has admitted to being an overweight junk food eater. I don’t think you should bother about her opinion

(Probably @Hydranga ‘s sister or BiL)

The cheeky fuckers. A free holiday, free food and they are still complaining? And your husband should have spoke up for you!

If they have a very different food preferance to the OP, that's fine - but then say to her that they prefer to sort themselves out.

What they're doing instead is sitting there like a nest of baby birds cheeping at her, and then having the absolute audacity to bitch about the offering she's spent time and money preparing.

Rude, graceless and stingy. It's OPs holiday too, she's not running a hotel.

This, in spades.

If anyone I had invited and was not only paying for but also cooking for was even a quarter as rude as this they would be shown the door in two seconds.

Your food sounds lovely, ignore the posters who think that the only food groups are fat, preservatives, sugar and burnt bits. Yuck.

It sounds like they are used to eating rubbish food and don't like your healthier food. Your meals sound lovely and they have been very ungrateful and rude. It's definitely them not you.

Her "guests"? They are all away on holiday together, that OP has paid for, and these lazy stingy grubbers are not only expecting to be fed and catered for, but have the cheek to bitch about what's on offer that they've neither paid for or prepared.

I would love to come to dinner please 😊

This all day long. And probably more so to minimise any gratitude to you they should feel. How awful for you.
If they can get in their car they should go home ungrateful cheeky fuckers.

Why haven’t they budgeted for meals? What would they have eaten had they not been on holiday?

what a bunch of numpties

ypur husband sounds like a dick too

Your sister and family are incredibly rude and ungrateful, there’s nothing wrong with your meals. All I would say is a lot of kids wouldn’t eat porridge/yoghurt/fruit for breakfast so I’d have said to your sister ’this is what we’re having for brekkie if that’s not to your liking maybe get some bread/other cereal’ and also your spag bol portions sound a bit small, we have 100g spag each and use 500g of mince for 4 of us. But yeah, it’s your bloody holiday too, don’t invite them again!!

It’s a medium portion on my calorie app, presumably OP weighed it dried.

This.
Lesson learned.
Never invite your ghastly ill mannered sister and family again.
Your husband is a pillock too.
I would be feeding myself and telling husband and sister to crack on.
No way would I accept such rudeness.

They are taking advantage of you, and the contagion has started.
Why didn't they budget for food?
Did they just expect you to plan it , buy it, pay for then cook it- and now they are mocking your choices and cooking?-TBH I'd tell them all to fuck off and buy and cook their own food, scratch that you paid for the holiday- tell them to fuck off home immediately, they will get nothing, not even a Christmas card until you have a full apology.

You could also read the thread?

and read the discussion and the posts I was replying to?
And the many posts when I pointed out that some people had missed the irony? 😂

You do take random comments from complete strangers a bit personally don't you?

Your son sounds lovely. Next time, just take him and ditch the rest!

Well, the OP’s sister is welcome to go out for a meal if she wants to 🤷‍♀️

I’m afraid I’d tell them to go home.

I mean, I love pasta but on holiday? I'd be wanting to go out for a meal, not just eat a meal I eat constantly at home.

We go away with groups/family often and always have a chat with a vague plan before hand about meals and who is contributing what. I suggest you do this. Eg dear sister, I was thinking of making a paella tonight, would that work for you lot? Oh you don't like mussels? Okay, how about chicken instead? Peas okay? Compromise and find some meals that suit everyone.

They are being rude and ungrateful, nothing wrong with what you are cooking but if I were you, I wouldn’t be cooking for anyone anymore except myself.

Oh fuck off

Pasta is absolute fine to serve to guests.
