Sister in law and brother in law are coming to visit for like 5 days. They gave us a shopping list of groceries for them and their kids. Its mainly kids stuff which is totally cool. Kids are picky, we want to have all the right foods and snacks ready. But they also requested their own specific creamers. Like, can't you drink it any other way for like 5 days? Is it really gonna kill you to not use your specific creamer for 5 days?

Obviously not, they are in-laws I'm not going to charge them for stuff like creamer.

Its not the money that bothers me, its just their pickiness. Like I wouldn't even go to my own parents house requesting that they have things ready the way I want it. If I want something I'll buy it myself.

what's the problem? you're already going to the grocery store. do you just not want to pay the $3?

when i travel i like to replicate as many of my comforts as possible so i'll go to the grocery to get my own stuff even if im only staying somewhere for a couple of days

Agreed. Younger kids can get their stupid ass requests.

Adults who I am already doing multiple favors for being picky about said favors?

Hahahahahahahaahahahaha no. Unless you are my closest friend not happening.

Sometimes you just have to say I couldnt really find them, but if you want we can go out later and find it

that way you know if theyll settle for whats in the fridge or not lol

of course this is only going by the fact that you dont wanna get them the creamer in the first place for whatever reason >_>

Yeah the thing is, even my regular friends not even family if they are staying over wouldnt give a me a list of stuff to buy for them. They will eat what I have, cause they are friends, unless they have an allergy/medical condition, not assholes.

Uh wanna try that again? You couldn't have stated this in a more awkward and inapplicable way if you tried.

Also if the kids were throwing a tantrum or otherwise being poorly behaved I would not buy their treat at all let alone the specific brand they want. They would get fruit, veggies, unsweeted cereal and purely nutritious food only if they were ill behaved.

I also would not give them soda period regardless of behavior.

i'd consider it a simple request. OP even listed it as "requested", not "demanded" and like i said, he was already going to the store for various things. what's the big deal with one more thing if it makes their stay more enjoyable? part of being a host is making sure your guests are happy and comfortable.

If the host asked, then sure. The guest shouldn't force the host to go out and get shit specifically for them if they are a grown ass adult.

maybe we just have different expectations about hospitality.

again, TC was already going to the store and making a trip. i really dont get why so many people are flipping out over these people asking for one more thing.

TC isn't complaining about being asked to go to the store, he's specifically complaining about being asked to by coffee creamer while he was already there.

now, if TC went to the store and their specific creamer was out and they demanded he go elsewhere and find it, then yeah, i'd be with you all.

dude are you an only child? that's the only way i can see you not understanding the sheer nerve and entitlement of asking your host to get special groceries for you prior to your stay

did you read my post? TC is complaining about being asked to buy coffee creamer, he's not complaining about being asked to go to the store. why are you moving the goalposts?

i have made no comment or judgment on the request to go to the store, simply about the request for specific creamer.

Did you or your wife ask them what they wanted for groceries? Or did they just drop a list on you? If former then I can see them thinking why not add this thing to it. If latter, then thats tacky.
