[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had a toddler and got invited over at 6pm to a friend's house for dinner. We assumed we'd be eating shortly upon arrival -- they had elementary-aged kids.

Instead, we chatted, then around 7:30pm they _start_ making dinner. We're all starving. We had food for our toddler but now it's getting close to her bedtime. She cried half the way back on the 30-minute drive home, after dinner. I think we finally started driving back at 9pm, way past her bedtime.[/quote]

That’s a completely reasonable  time-frame for a dinner party. It’s strange that you expected something different. I get it that that’s hard with a toddler but then you shouldn’t have accepted the invite. Parents of toddlers are beyond annoying snd uptight and that’s why I wouldn’t invite  any over for dinner.

I don't have kids and I assume when you invite me over for dinner, we will be eating around the time we arrive. Not hours later. We have one friend who we now know will do this - has us over at 7, starts cooking 45 minutes later, dinner's not out till 9. Then wants to talk for hours after that. We like this friend a lot, and her food is good, but this time frame makes me crazy and I try to get her to meet us at restaurants instead. A nice tight 1.5 hours.[/quote]
