[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She should clean up after herself. Promptly rinse and put her dishes in the dishwasher, etc.

She should keep her room tidy.

She should be very quiet in the morning and night if others are sleeping. She should not watch TV once others go to sleep. She should not turn on the tv or pick up the remote.

She should assume she is paying for ski rental and lift tickets. If they insist on paying, that's fine too.

If they go out for dinner, she should offer to pay her share, but they should wave her away if they have good manners.

Don't wear perfume, etc.

Bring a small gift that does not take up much room. They may not want to store or play a board game. Better option is something edible like a small box of chocolates or something small like a book they can put on a shelf.[/quote]

Largely agree and think this is great though regarding helping in the kitchen, she should repeatedly ask how she can help but then ask how they like it done - everyone likes things done a bit differently so best to ask what they like.

I think the best answer is also to ask the boyfriend for a preview ahead of time. Decent chance he is clueless but doesn't hurt to ask. Hopefully he wants to set her up to succeed so will give some good advice.

Also agree on the gift - something small and perishable. One man's treasure is another man's trash - people don't want crap accumulating in their home, even if you think it is wonderful. But don't bring soaps or anything like that. Agree on chocolate or similar.[/quote]
