[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Roast chicken.  Grilled chicken thighs. Steak with a baked potato bar.  Taco bar.  Slowcooker a pork but and make bbq pulled pork sandwiches.  Basically make a protein centered dish.

I’d also stock up on eggs.  My college student sons eat a ton of eggs for breakfast.[/quote]

Yes I have eggs. I'm just upset because this is very last minute and one of them might stay for days. I hate having guests so much and especially because I now have to rush and do a bunch of things and still work all day. Would you all feel this way or be thrilled? I am a reluctant hostess, it's a nightmare for me.[/quote]

Hosting tires me out, but I love having more kids around, I always wanted to be the house where the kids came and I fed them and they felt welcome here. When my teens do bring friends over I feed them and make them feel welcome, but they don’t come around that often!

Just remind yourself it’s only for a few days. Don’t hesitate to ask the boys to clear their plates and enlist them in taking out the trash and helping with dishes. Get paper plates (not usually my thing but may save your sanity in this situation!) and try to focus on the positives. Seeing your kid. Knowing he has friends. Being a welcoming home when not every kid has a welcoming home.

Oh and you didnt mention breakfast but I would get a lot of bagels and cream cheese and more eggs on top of the eggs you already have. Also, assuming your son can drive to the store, just send him out if you need something else! Basically don’t hesitate to delegate! :) [/quote]
