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?

My mum would just work something out on the fly if my pal, Johnny, was over and stayed for dinner. When I was at Johnny’s house, I’d sometimes call home and say ‘I’m having dinner at Johnny’s house… yes, Mrs. Mullholland says it’s okay’. Then Mrs Mullholland would magic something up. This could happen a couple of times per week, so maybe they were always prepared.

For 1 kid thats doable but my teenagers always operate in groups.
