[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You invited them to come one day during the day but only for dinner? That makes no sense.

The only rude thing is helping themselves to your bed. [/quote]

They showed up after lunch.

I made it clear we were sharing only dinner. I wasn’t going to cook them breakfast and lunch.[/quote]

How?

“Hey Suzy! Would your family like to join us at the cabin on Saturday? By Saturday I just mean the afternoon. You should arrive after lunch, and to be clear, I am only providing dinner.”

Nice invite.

ICYMI: when you host, you host. That means ample food, drinks, activities, and fun.

If I visit someone, I typically feed my kids something ahead of time…mostly in case they serve something weird. And while I always bring a hostess gift that is edible, I would never show up with groceries if I’m only someplace for 1/2 a day.

PS - kids get tired and it’s NBD to put them down in a quiet bedroom. I would ask first. [/quote]

You’re rude. You have no idea how the invitation was worded. I’ll share what I experienced.

Dh and I rent a beach house every year 2 hours away. I had reconnected with an old friend and invited her and her dh to come Friday-Sunday. They agree and left a msg using an app that leaves a msg and ensures the phone doesn’t ring to say they are extending their stay thru Wednesday and are bringing their adult daughter I barely know.

I am uncomfortable with confrontation but called friend to say we couldn’t accommodate her daughter and the extended time didn’t work for us. The b admitted that they were being rude they just didn’t think I’d actually say no.

People are rude. I would have been bothered by every bit of it. [/quote]
