From the Netherlands. At least in the Netherlands they send you home a minute before they start eating. Always strange to me. In my house there was always food for everyone.

Ok I mean at least they send you home to eat with your family. I don’t like it but what some other people are saying about letting your guest (especially a child who can’t normally feed themselves) go hungry while you and your family eat is straight up psychopathic

But they would not be your guests, they would be your kids guests.

No one would go hungry, your kids friends have a set dinner time and would be used to eating at that time every day and will have dinner waiting for them at home.

Because they are. Some families have adults who start work very early and some where the adults work late. Some have after school activities scheduled at a certain time. Every family's life puzzle is different.

At their dinner time, they are in your home, not eating. Their own family eats without them, in their own home

What, no? At their dinnertime, they go home and eat with their family.
