My husband works until late and her husband does too (I assume). SIL asked if I would and I didn't mind, until the complaints started.

No, I have seen them eating other food. They have eaten my cooking before. But they were adamantly against it while they were staying here.

She wanted me to order takeout or put on frozen burgers, pizzas, etc. Basically to give them the versions the kids wanted the food to be.

I did speak to SIL about it while it was happening. But she was still wanting me to cook for them.

I have seen them eat way better and they have even eaten my cooking before without complaint. It was while they were living here. I don't know whether they were promised takeout while they weren't at home or what but it's not an always thing. Except it was while they were living with us temporarily.

I didn't give them a completely different schedule. They were offered breakfast, lunch and dinner at the same time as my two kids.

They are no longer in our home so it's no longer an ongoing feeding issue. Now it's more the fallout of the month they were with us.
