My husband's brother owns a catering business and a banquet hall. He's having a hard time, but came up with a great idea. BIL asked his dad to ask other family members to "donate" eight hours or so of work time to him so he can cut his labor costs. He'd like us to help out with prep work or serving. We told my FIL it wasn't gonna happen. BIL called last night and raged for 10 minutes about how selfish we were. Still not happening. He hung up after my husband told him again that with our jobs, my husband's schooling (my DH is in culinary school), an active 22 month old, and a new baby on the way, we just don't have time.
The best part of this? My in-laws are getting ready to take their RV across country for the winter (they'll be back in May) and are hosting a bon voyage dinner tomorrow. I can already feel the love coming my way.
