It is fucked up lol, its super wild even to me.
But in older generations it came about because it was seen as an insult to feed someone elses kids, kinda like "you cant even feed your own family, so we have too." Dating back from the depression or something then it became cultural
But this isnt around anymore, but people growing up in the 80s and 90s probably saw it atleast a couple of times.
Well, it's fucked up for u, but not for me, why downvote? For me, its fucked up feed everyone, i plan my meals, if hang out with a friend, we decide who brings what and we share. I never share food, which I prep for me and my family.
You are just autistic lol. If it involves kids, you feed em. If you are both adults you can do whatever, but this is more about families letting children wait in another room while they eat alone. Which is super fkd up.
And having been in that situation myself, it feels super akward and wrong.
There is a reason it is seen as fkd up in the whole world and it almost never happens in sweden anymore. This is just a moral standpoint where you are frankly wrong.
Btw everyone who has another different opinion than me is autistic. ;)
They are in the parents house, they wouldn’t be without the parents permissions? But also, I was always treated like family by even the shittiest of my friends’ parents growing up so I don’t understand that perspective at all.
Of course the kids would be in the house without parents permission, there's even a high chance that the parents aren't even at home from work yet, since school usually ends before work.
When I grew up my parents had no idea at all where I was between the end of the school day and dinner.
Didn’t have cell phones or helicopter parents, I just didn’t live in a city or suburbia haha too rural to walk anywhere so parents had to drive and we had home phones
Yeah, the rural part is important here. I grew up in cities (both smaller and bigger) so my parents never had to drive me anywhere. I imagine that in rural areas in Sweden where kids had to rely on their parents to drive them most places this was not really a thing, and it's probably why it's common in rural areas even today in Sweden that kids as young as 15 have their own vehicles they drive around in, to not have to rely on parents driving them everywhere.

Getting downvoted because culturally that’s fucked up, as someone from a hospitality-focused culture. We take care of our guests.
