But wondered what others thought? My brother (25) and his girlfriend (22) are staying with my parents and me. They arrived on Christmas Eve and are staying until the 3rd of January. |

Is it your house or your parents? Do your parents cook or do you do it? |

Thank you all for your replies. The house is my parents but I do most of the cooking. If they were children it would be different however they are adults in their 20s so old enough to fend for themselves. |

Tell him to do it himself. You're not his servant, you might be his sister but those two things are not the same thing |

If that is his attitude I am glad I am not his girlfriend! I agree with Rose, tell them when the meal will be ready and tell them they will have to reheat it if not there. Explain how it is normally good manners to let people know if they don't intend eating in. What do your parents think about it? I certainly would not cook for them when they come in late, I would show them the fridge, food and frying pan etc. |

They feel the same as me he does however show our parents as much respect as he shows me. The sooner they go home to York the better. |

I'm afraid I would ask if they'll be in for dinner, which will be at a certain time. |

if they live in York they may be back sooner than you think if their house is flooded |

as others have said ................... they are guests in YOUR house (OK, you and your parents house, if you/they wish to be picky!) |

Its perfectly reasonable asking if they want an evening meal, even if they have to reheat if they are back later than expected. |

I agree with all the other comments, Tawny, don't let them treat you or your parents in that way. You are not regimented, it's them with a problem and they need telling 0. Sounds as tho they are selfish and lazy. Have they offered to take you out for meals or pay for a takeaway? |
