[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If I am a guest in someone house I sort of follow their lead.  I do not expect them to not get up and breakfast as they normally do just because I like to sleep in.  If you came down for coffee and sat on the porch I probably would join you...though if you told me you needed to wake up first I would be fine with that

You would like someone who should stay in a hotel.[/quote]

I don’t understand these posts either. If we have guests in our home, we alter our routines if needed to be good hosts and help our guests feel welcome. If we are staying in someone else’s home, we are happy to modify our routine as well. If we are on vacation, we prefer having our own lodging. Is everyone so rigid that they can’t change behaviors for a few days at a time? [/quote]

My Dad used to cook great breakfasts for the kids.  That got made or started when kid 1 would appear. Got some cereal and juice until it was ready.  OP reltives seemm to want 1 huge pan with 8 eggs scramblled rather than a few sets of 2 eggs.  Therefore they really don't want to do sequential cooking so tell them NO breakfast, we'll get food ourselves, and  feed yourselves.

OP is talking about relatives that expect all to get up and eat at 1 specific time.  And no flexibility on the time like it's a reservation at a restaurant, school lunch, army barracks.[/quote]
