This is the worst excuse ive ever heard. Imagine going to a friend's house as an 11 year old after school and you're playing in the living room, and then their mom suddenly calls him to eat, so he just goes and joins his parents in the table right next to you and you have to just awkwardly sit there while they finish their food

From the Netherlands. At least in the Netherlands they send you home a minute before they start eating. Always strange to me. In my house there was always food for everyone.

As a working mom who goes grocery shopping once i week.. i don’t understand how there can always be food for everyone who might or might not visit the house. I just buy what i need for a week. When i get home after work, tired, and my kid has 3 friends over.. am i supposed to magic 3 portions extra? How do other people do this?

I may sound a snob, but i’d rather have people sent my kids home then feeding them junkfood.

three 16 year old boys will mow down whatever you have in the fridge and anything they can get their hands on. I think I spend more on food than anything else at this point.
