NP and for all you know, both OP and DH had big meetings or after-school obligations like taking a kid to a practice on Thursday, so they made a big lasagna on Wednesday.

If you want to be treated like family with a visit during a busy time, you fall in. There is nothing wrong with a lasagna the next day. If you want the full guest treatment, you wait to visit during a time that works for your hosts.

NP. Why do you waste food? In my house, we eat our leftovers. Wasting food is bad for the environment and the wallet, and usually indicates that the parents are likely to get take-out or fast food.

OP here. We made the effort of cleaning the house and putting clean sheets on the bed and extra towels in the guest bath. There is nothing wrong with lasagna, or with pizza: and by the way, we’ve eaten both leftovers and pizza in their home before.

No, my daughter isn’t going to skip a birthday party that she RSVPd for before the grandparents asked to stay with us. We went out of our way to explain this was a busy weekend, and we’re not up for hostessing with the mostessing. I am making a very nice dinner tonight, the one non-workday evening they are here with us. I’ve also provided more hot breakfast items than I ever do when it’s just my family in our home.

None of our friends would ever treat us this way. Ever. Especially not after we told them it wasn’t a great time to visit, and they said they understood. My friends know that a free place to stay when they are in town for another event entirely is a GIFT.

At any rate, DH is ready to tell them flat out to stop the complaining. They are beyond rude and we will absolutely never trust that they can handle a visit during a non-holiday/non-summertime ever again.

Have you had dirty sheets on the bed since the last visitor? And putting towels in the bathroom? Nobody is going to accuse you of rolling out the red carped.

NP and I always put fresh sheets on the guest bed but put new sheets on anyway when a guest is imminent. How weird, no one wants to sleep on potentially dusty sheets if it has been months

How does dust get in the bed if you have a duvet or cover on it?

I take it you also never air out a room? A lot of people have musty, stale smelling homes and don’t seem to realize

You take what? I have regular cleaning people and live in a brand new home. You know nothing about me.

So you’re lazy. Got it.

Gosh, another swing and a miss. Declaring everything off limits until breaks is a special kind of rigid laziness that seems to be lost on you.
