[quote=Anonymous]I generally keep to my family's schedule but also make provisions for people to help themselves on their own schedule if need be. My parents, for example, eat 2 meals a day: a full hot breakfast at 10 and then dinner at 5:30. I'm out of the house for work from 8 to 5:30ish so I just make sure I have on hand all the things they like for breakfast (which they cook on their own) and often they will get dinner started before DH and I get home which is a big help. They don't have to do that, of course, but the other option is to wait until 6:30-7ish. If people are staying over a holiday when I'm likely to have taken time off work to be in "host-host" mode, then I am more willing and able to flex the schedule a bit. But if you're visiting during a regular school/work week you go with the flow or take care of your own needs.[/quote]
