[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I posted earlier about ten minutes early "used to be" the norm.  It occurred to me though, that this advice came from people who:

-Either didn't work outside the house, or not full time.
-Kept their house pretty much company ready at all times.
-Had friends in the same situation, and it was pretty much expected that those friends would be the early ones.
- One did these things because the older ladies at her church told her she should.  Along with always being ready for one of them to stop by anytime after 8 AM except on Sundays.  So her house, kids, etc. were expected to be "ready."  This wasn't all that long ago.. in the last 10 years.

Things have changed.. and so has what is acceptable.

For me.. it's just a "thing" I have that everything has to be done and I have to be ready early just in case.  However, I will keep in mind that not everyone is like me.[/quote]

I work full time outside the home and have kids. My house is company ready at all times.[/quote]

GREAT!  So you would also have all of the food ready as well as yourself, and be fine with guests arriving a little early?

The point was that many people's lives have changed from those of the people who used to insist to me that being 10 minutes early was the "right" way to do things.
