Up to now DS1 (6yo) has generally only had friends round, where I know the mum well. Often she and any other children will come too and we make a day of it, stay for lunch, maybe go to the park etc.
Tommorrow we have a school friend coming on his own. I have arranged for his Mum to drop him off at 10:30am (school hols here). Does this mean I need to give him lunch? It's not that I don't want to feed him, more that I think 1.5 hours might be enough, so I was thinking of suggesting she collects him at 12. What do you think? Would this seem odd? We didn't discuss lunch when making arrangements. Would you assume that 10:30 in the hols means lunch too?
Similarly, if a friend comes straight from school, is it usual to give them tea, or would they normally stay for c. 1.5 hours and go home for tea?
