[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My house is always open for guests.  They get fed what we eat and they have full access to my fridge and pantry.  If they give me advance notice I will stock up through Peapod, Amazon Prime etc on whatever they want. Very few guests expect us to entertain them because they are here for business or for their own vacation.   I don't  have a problem in giving them a set of keys and my third car.  I will order in pizza is they have come unexpectedly and I am unable to cook something.  Most of the time my freezer is full of cooked meals that just have to be defrosted and eaten.

That's wonderful of you, but no one should assume that people are prepared like you. We have no room for prepared meals in our small fridge and freezer, no guest bedroom, and we need to move a kid and his stuff into his sibling's room to accommodate a guest; we need to remind everyone not to make noise after bedtime, because our space is tiny and noise carries; our guests do expect to be chauffeured, because they're not used to driving in this country, and some don't speak English at all. Etc...
