Re: Treatment of Guests
wow- lots of advice! I don't mean to be hospitable, the reason I started this thread is so that I dont' unintentionally offend them - I am a very hospitable person, I will feed you well if you come to my home, and do everything I can to take care of you.
But, I am not Pakistani, and it seems like I always do something to offend. This is this particular uncle's first visit, and I want to leave a very good impression, as he will be mostly with me, and is very close to my in-laws.
Some things freeze better than others, which is why I was asking. I have 4 kids of my own, and am the unofficial "neighborhood mom" so there are kids in and out all the time, most of them gora. All of my kids play sports, so right now we have softball, baseball, and soccer going on, not to mention Quran class and a bevy of activities to get everyone ready for school.
I want Uncle to be as involved as he would like, and I want him to have a good time - this is strictly a social visit - just to see us. (unfortunately it's a really bad time at work for my husband, and he can only take about 5 days vacation).
