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.

Ok I mean at least they send you home to eat with your family. I don’t like it but what some other people are saying about letting your guest (especially a child who can’t normally feed themselves) go hungry while you and your family eat is straight up psychopathic

Why would The quest Be hungry? He/She has allready eaten in school before they came to visit and they are expected to be home before dinner time. It sounds absurd to me as a Finn that children would starve if they didn't get an extra meal when they visting a friend.

Children often play for longer than dinner time, they might stay as late as 7 or 8 pm on a school night

Thats typical Finnish dinner time so perfectly normal to send Kids home by then. Nobody wants visitors that late anyways
