[quote=Anonymous]There has to be some give and take on this.  Good hosts try to make their guests comfortable (and closing the kitchen is always wrong), but guests have a role to play, too.  Good guests go with the flow of the house, within reason.  Or if they can't or won't do that (which may be the case when kids are little), they stay in a hotel.

My retired parents are PITAs about food.  At home they do a full hot breakfast at 7 AM daily, and get miffed when we don't do things that way at our house, and on a busy weekday morning, point them to the cereal and fruit as DH and I are running around trying to get everyone out the door to school and work.  They are able-bodied and welcome make themselves eggs and bacon if they want, but I do ask that they wait until we leave (by 8 AM) and that's apparently a huuuge burden.  They also complain if dinner isn't on the table by 6 because they don't like to eat too late.  We're lucky to be home by 6.

Rigid inflexible people should stay in hotels. [/quote]
