Mommamia Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 When you invite another family over for dinner, how long do they normally stay? How long is too long? I'm not talking about old friends who are more like family...I'm talking people that you really like, but are just getting to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TammyinTN Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 When we have friends over we usually start at 7pm and everyone is usually gone by 11pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garga Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 It seems like for people that we are just getting to know or don't instantly and perfectly "fit" it's about 2.5 hours. But we've recently met a couple that we have clicked with and it'll last up to 3.5 hours and then we only have to stop because the kids are getting tired and cranky. (We only seem to be able to schedule time with them in the evening.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pamela H in Texas Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 This is what happened last weekend: Hubby made arrangements for us to visit a woman he went to middle school. We got there about 2pm. We left about 11pm. We played games (board, cards, wii) and ate and talked. It was great. There were natural times one or all of us could have bowed out...you know, between games or after supper or us saying it's a long drive or them saying "church in the morning" or whatever...
