    Question Should a guest staying with you have a right to complain about what food you serve?

    If someone comes to visit you & stays over night is it right that they complain/make comments about the food you are serving?

    My thinking is they didn't have to stay in a motel & are getting free meals.
    You also know that they like the food you make but still complain.

    Just like many we have had to stretch every dollar lately. We have been doing Hamburgers, chick pattie sandwichs, sloppy joes, hot dogs,etc..kinda inexpensive meals

    We always have mac salad or coleslaw with them also.

    It's not right however it depends on who is complaining about it.. If it were my sisters I'd google map some restaurants and tell them to go there or eat the map if they didn't like what I served

    If it were my MIL then I have no idea

    I've never had that problem before..

    I don't think it's right..

    I dont think its right either, unless they want to purchase the food for the meals.

    That's just wrong to complain. If they have a special diet and can't eat the food you make that's one thing but they should have made arrangements in advance or brought their own food. If it's a matter of them just not liking it, they can suck it up and offer to cook something for you guys the next meal. You're not a freakin hotel. If they want a menu let them go elsewhere.

    Very rude in my opinion, But whether to say anything, depends, like ellegee stated.
    If it were my house i would give em 2 bucks and tell them to go to macdonalds.

    If I went to your house, my husband and I would take you and your family out for dinner. And the next morning I would fix you breakfast, and I would clean up after. That is the way I do it.

    If I did it any other way I would feel that we were using you.

    Ohh man...I want you as a house quest......LOL!



    When we went to visit family in Febuary all we did was eat out. We stayed with 2 different families(time spilt half & half with each) I think 1 time we had dinner at their house. It was like it was expected that we would fend for ourselfs but when they come here we always make sure to have meals ready.


    One other thing is I was the only one cleaning up after meals.

    If they dont like what you served tell them go to the soup kitchen,Id be so grateful if anyone was to fix me a peanut butter sandwich,let alone a meal,no matter whose house its in. Complaining is just bad manners,and shows disrespect,times are hard,people need to be thankful this day and age for others that share their table setting with them. What a stinker!

    No they have no right to complain. If they don't like what you are serving, tell them the kitchen is all theirs to cook and you would be happy to eat whatever they serve.

    Also, as another poster suggested, google the local restaurants and give it to them or hand them the yellow pages listing them and tell them to enjoy themselves.
