[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't get why you invited a family over for dinner, specifically told them to come after lunch so you don't have to feed them, specifically told them to bring snacks so you don't have to feed them snacks....that's a weird flex.

They were rude to not ask, yes, but you are not a gracious host. At all. If guests are coming after lunch you could easily have put out a spread of snacks and drinks. [/quote]

Exactly. It’s this fundamental part of the story that makes me doubt the veracity of OPs claims regarding the other family’s behavior. I can’t believe that someone who explicitly told guests “you may only arrive after you’ve eaten lunch and you must bring snacks as we will not be sharing any food with you beyond what we cook for dinner” has a strong grasp on normal human behavior.

Also, I am suspicious that, while OP was clearly dedicated to the no food sharing policy, the other family renting may not have been as rigid. If all hosts were, why did no one speak up? Were all the other hosts and their kids firmly on board with the no snack sharing? It’s just hard for me to me imagine a house full of adults and kids vehemently against sharing any food with the guests they invited over. And if they all were why did no one say anything?
