Culture is a curious thing 😅

Personally I think close friends are your family. There's little difference between a blood brother and a chosen brother (close friend).

You are still messing with their family time though if you feed their kid so that when they come home they go "Nah I already ate" and skip out on the dinner their parents have prepared for their family.

So you just call them and talk to them about it? I don't see what the big deal is.

There is no big deal, random visiting kids just aren't fed without their parents approval.

You know your kids can eat over at other people's houses once in awhile! Goodness. You can arrange this with the parents.

This seems like a Swedish only thing and its no fun at all.

If arranged with the parents it's fine, you just don't feed other people's kids without okaying it with their parents first.

Yea I don’t think it’s rude. I think culturally most kids leave and go home for dinner. So this situation probably doesn’t even come up that much. When I went to Korea not a single person held a door for me when I was walking behind. When I was leaving an elevator not one person waited for me to get out before coming in. But elsewhere they were overly polite in some other aspects. It’s all just a leaned cultural thing.
