[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, get some real problems.

I would have been thrilled that someone else was offering to take my kid to the park for an hour.[b] And of course, you would ask if she wants to stay for dinner-its 5 pm.[/b] Seriously, you need to rethink how you are approaching this whole relationship.

WHy is this an of course? Just b/c a person is at your home at 5pm doesn't mean you are obligated to feed them?[/quote]

Of course you feed them.  My parents fed anyone who was at our house in the late afternoon/evening, no questions asked.  There was a lot of love in our house, and it was always filled with kids.   Dinner might just be leftovers.  I understand that not everyone is up for this, but I think this is the difference between wanting a warm, inviting home, and being part of a bigger community, and wanting your home to be a private sanctuary.  Nothing wrong with either one but as someone who grew up in the inviting house, the second time of house seems cold to me.[/quote]
