Ok, so it wasn't my child bringing home an unexpected or unwanted partner, but it was a guest who decided to bring a friend of theirs. Now normally, I don't have a problem with this, after all, the more the merrier, isn't that how the saying goes?
The only problem is that this person seemed to have no home training and if he did, he seemed to have forgotten all of it. No, it's not like he put his elbows on the table, or chewed with his mouth full; its that he didn't seem to interact with other people in a way that was respectful and considerate of other peoples views and feelings.
Maybe conversation is truly a dying art, but so it would seem are good manners. I, in some ways feel sorry for the friend that I did invite. His behavior was not just an embarrassment to himself and his parents, but it also reflected badly on the aforementioned friend. He affected the mood of what should have been a pleasant and enjoyable meal with friends and family so greatly that some of legitimate guests actually left earlier than planned.
Still I am planning on having him back sometime.
I wonder how he deals with laxative in his food.....
