[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m from the Deep South so take this as you’d like - I would absolutely adjust my schedule if DH asked me to prepare a meal for a good friend of his that he doesn’t often see. Presumably you know how to cook, what’s one more plate?

Relationships (familial and friendships) are more important than work and sports, especially if it’s not a regular or excessive occurrence, ie you're not being asked to cook a 14 person dinner party every third Tuesday.[/quote]

If relationships are more important than work, why can't OP's DH leave work a little early to make dinner and welcome his longtime friend into his home?

Also, what would the DH do if he were not married and this friend came to visit? I would bet you anything they'd go out to dinner. Ask yourself why this is different if he's married, and why the work of the difference (leaving work early, making dinner, rearranging kid schedules) is falling 100% on OP even though she doesn't even know this person.[/quote] OK but since this person is important to her dh, why doesn't she JOIN them for dinner out? Not joining them for no really good reason seems like a real snub to the dh and the friend. She doesn't want to entertain in her home? Ok fine. Here's another option. Getting kids to their practices is a minor issue to work out.[/quote]
