[quote=Anonymous]As a host, I provide a welcome meal, but always encourage the guests to use the kitchen and be comfortable. For long visits, I have my cleaning ladies come in on day 3 or so to clean the house (we leave for an activity to let them do their job). I try to have a general schedule, but also allow people time to relax, eg. everyone has their own breakfast when they wake up, then we have a morning "activity" like ice skating with kids, we come home for nap (for kids) and lunch (take out), then there is a quiet/nap time, then, my husband might take the kids and the guests for a walk while I make dinner. As a guest, I offer to help (wash dishes, make a salad, clean up after meals); I offer to take my hosts out one night. I also go grocery shopping "because our kids like specific things" (but really, so that I have fruits, cheese and spreads for when we are hungry and I do not want to bother the hosts). [/quote]
