I have been on the other end of this and I think it is nice of her to help out. But, the other guests need to help also. Certainly the parents are old but can one of them help dry? and your bf? what the heck is he doing?

I entertained my ex's mom, dad, brother, and uncle for 3 days and it was frustrating as heck for me. I did all the cooking, and when everyone got done eating they all went off either into the next room or all went outside. Not once did any of them offer to help me. I was pissed beyong pissed. I was used to just me and my ex and suddenly I am being the maid, cook and bottle washer to four other people. And no my ex didn't help either.

Whenever I was at his parents home and we had dinner together I always offered to help with the cooking, dishes, anything and she never wanted any help.
