[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Team wife. I'm the same way, and it's not anxiety, it's a matter of respecting other people's time. My mom has us over for dinner every Sunday night, and she would be (rightfully) annoyed if we were late; she takes hours making us delicious food, and I'm not going to keep an 85-year-old waiting.

When I invite my adult kids over for dinner, I expect them to be on time. I do think there's a personality difference at play, because I have friends for whom showing up late to their home doesn't matter - but for the rest of us who care, it's disrespectful if you can't arrive on time.[/quote]

Why are you showing up the minute the food hits the table, and not 15-30min earlier?
Don't you love your mother enough to spend a few minutes with her before dinner?[/quote]

My mom wants us to sit down and serve us hot food is why. She even heats the plates in the oven. She doesn't have time to "spend a few minutes" when she's making finishing touches to the meal. We will help bring dishes to the table, and we always clean up.

Any more questions?[/quote]
