I have guests. They have stayed before. No dietary requirements and no food dislikes. To accommodate them my child has to vacate her bedroom and spend the week on an airbed in our room which she very kindly does. Anyway guests have arrived and I have shopped, meal planned and prepared lunch, homemade quiche etc . They have now said “since we last visited we have both become vegetarian and dairy free as it is healthier” - so basically vegan. I am so annoyed. Had I been given the heads up I could have prepared and shopped accordingly . Aibu to be hacked off and have said that given their failure to let me know I won’t be able to accommodate that but can use what I have bought and minimise the amount of meat or they can shop for their own supplies and cook for us all? To be clear had I known in advance I would have accommodated their dietary fads. To be clear there is no medical grounds for any of this. They were already getting a week of free food and board and as we live in a very desirable holiday location would have been paying in the region of £800 to book an air BnB. They are not really family either and have in the past been ok guests though last time they were bemused I had not taken A week off to entertain them and take them places.

I'd tell them to fuck off to a hotel. Such rudeness and such lack of consideration

They sound cheeky as fuck. Tell them they need to buy some of their own food then, you hadn’t planned a dairy free shop.
Honestly, sounds like they’re using you for your location! They won’t be staying again will they.
Do they even take you for a meal or buy you anything to say thanks?

Unbelievable behaviour from your guests! Obviously yanbu to be annoyed.

They sound entitled. OP, you are doing very well holding your temper. Don't let them walk all over you. Jeez
