[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I haven't read all responses but OP seems (partly understandably) stressed by all the expectations she tried to anticipate and fulfill--and so what I'm about to say will prob be rejected. Things like, "we serve breakfast at 7." Well, there may be good reason for this but what IF, breakfast is not at a set time. Here's a note on the fridge for things they can enjoy for breakfast and bowls are in this cabinet. Doesn't have to be perfect. I wouldn't expect to have every thing the way I want it when Im the guest but appreciate choices.[/quote] Who eats breakfast at 7am on vacation?? I'm sleeping in until 9am at least. Muffins and bagels are on the counter in their packaging. Coffee maker pre-set to start at 8:30. I tell guests if you want it sooner, press the On button. [/quote] People with young children definitely don’t wait to eat breakfast at 9. And old people. Old people get up early. [/quote] +1. Plus, if you’re visiting a family home, you better not be acting like you’re on “vacation.” People still have work, responsibilities, chores, activities and schedules. Life doesn’t screech to a halt because you want to mooch yet another DC-area vacation.[/quote]
