AIBU re house guests

If you stay as a guest at someone's house for the weekend, what time would you get up? And be ready to leave the house by? Assuming you'd just planned to spend the day together and didn't have any firm plans that required being at a specific place at a specific time.

My guest this weekend got up at 9.30 BUT then wasn't ready to leave the house until 2pm. I'd been up since 7.30am and ready by 8.30am.

AIBU for not wanting to spend my weekend waiting for guests to have looonnng baths, paint their nails, blow dry their hair?

If I'd known they would take that long I would've gone out - I could've got in a nice long dog walk & done my food shop in the time it took her to get ready ....

AIBU?

2pm is ridiculous.

I do think as a good host you ought to discuss what time to get up (but then, I'd raise that as a guest, too). If it wasn't discussed I think 8.30 might be a bit early for some people - if you're a guest you're on holiday time and sometimes it's hard to wake up when you're out of your normal context. But I'd be thinking 9.30 or so, not 2!

This reminds me of holidaying with friends on safari. Some of us would be up early for a game drive, back to pack up and move on to the next place. One 'friend' insisted on going for a run round the camp every morning, then back to shower, dry hair, eat breakfast, before finally being ready to move on, by which time it was nearly lunchtime and half the bloody day had gone.

Last time we took relatives out for the day, we arrived at our destination one hour before closing and nine hours after we had got up.

Lesson learnt.

Yes maybe I should have communicated better. I guess I just assumed we'd get up and go out before mid-afternoon as I always do, but I guess some people do sit around in their PJs half the day.

Also I did say at 11am "do you want to go and get ready so we can go out" hint hint ......
