yeah, if they're invited for dinner there must be enough to feed them, preferably twice over!
And in the Twitter thread, one person mentioned not getting offered breakfast when having a sleepover. I've never experienced that. And it may not have been the parents' idea; children can get weird ideas and decide to tell the family that their friend doesn't want breakfast even though they haven't asked. That kind of thing was actually something one of my friends would do sometimes - if she didn't want saft and cookies, she would tell her mum that I didn't either, though if I'd been asked I would have said yes.
Also, of course there's a difference in both class and region. Sweden is a *big* country, and what is perfectly proper behaviour in a city in the south may be considered rude and/or entitled in the rural north. And vice versa. Also, class is less of a factor now than in the 70's, but most of the kids I'd play with were aspiring middle class city dwellers. A little further down the ladder, to working class, would be different.
