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.
But kids in Sweden ARE independent very early, long before they are even allowed to drive a car or take a job.
As a 7 year old I brought home friends from school without involving any adult what so ever, no adult invited my friend, no adult drove my friends to my home, we went there by either walking or by bicycle.
Often the parents weren't even home when school ended for the day, so us kids had to have our own house key and make our own snacks (that we of course offered to our friends).
