Have you seen the t.v. ad where a husband brings home his client for dinner Without warning his wife? Their child tells us " thankfully mom had Kraft Mac and Cheese.." Me I would just tell dear husband that we are going out to dinner. How about you? What would be your reaction?

It's so nice to know that Kraft views women as nothing more than servants to their husbands. Of course, I wouldn't expect anything more from that company.
I love to cook. However, I expect for my efforts to be appreciated. I craft beautiful, nutritious meals for my boyfriend and I to enjoy. I do this because I enjoy cooking, and because I love my boyfriend. I don't do this out of some duty. If I didn't enjoy cooking, I wouldn't. I would instead have several good restaurants on speed dial.

I never learned how to cook, so for any guy to assume I will cook for him is badly mistaken.

I completely agree with you. I just finished reading a really funny page on line detailing the lessons learned in the book "Fascinating womanhood." haha They claim the book will not make a woman a doormat, but I think otherwise. LOL Women need to grow spines, and not take this crap from their husbands!!
I have a friend here in town who's husband used to be our member of Parliament. Well, one night the guy brought home a very high-ranking politician, and did not warn his wife. When he came to the house with his colleague, she was in her bathrobe, and had a mud-pack on her face. LOL If I were her, I'd have thrown something at him!

It is all his fault! All he needed to do is call her at least an hour in advance. But no that would be considerate.

I would have been very mad and have said you can fix the supper, I'll do the enetertaining. Or I would say well you can entertain your clients, I'm going to go out to eat with my children.

I think uninvited guests are always cause some headache.
In my family, we always ask our guest, invited or not, to have some meal before they leave. No matter what time they come to our house.
We will call the nearest restaurant to deliver some food.

Thanks God, I do not have any hubby yet. I am still single.
But my grandmother and my mother always teach me to treat our guest as well as we are able.
Whenever they come, either we like it or not, we must honor their coming.
And we always ask them to eat before they leave our home.
If we have some cash to buy good dining food, we will buy.
If we do not have some cash, we will cook whatever we have in house, ordinary vegetable, meat, or even only an instant noodle.

Well, the theory there was that she had already been making it even before his announcement and that it was fortunate she chose that for even a special important client. The gimmick is supposed to mean that it is even good for a surprise important guest which I probably wouldn't serve to a person such as that, to be honest. Commercials are just so lame anymore though, nothing like they used to be. I would have loved to go out to dinner and skip the Mac n Cheese, you are so right!

I wouldn't remain in the house. Hubby and the client would be there alone. I would be out having my dinner alone!

I'm odd. I never learned to cook but I've seen so many cooking shows I guess I could actually cook If I wanted to. I have no desire to!

I hate cooking!
As much as I hate buying stuff for the weekly food that I have to cook.
So, I don't appreciate people coming to my house. Specially if they expect dinner. Like you say/wrote, I would also make reservations!
Or I'd just order pizza!

First off I would never bring someone whom for dinner without calling ahead first. Even if it were a last minute thing. At least the wife would have a heads up. But if there was nothing for dinner, then going out would be a good idea.

I hate that commercial. Seriously, that's really inconsiderate. My husband called me once to let me know that he had invited his best friend over for dinner and asked if I would mind calling for a pizza in about 45 minutes. Now to me, if you're going to spring on someone that you just invited someone over, something like my husbands request is reasonable. Expecting your wife or anyone for that matter to make a meal for not only you, but an unexpected guest with absolutely no warning is not acceptable.

That sounds like a plan yes, because truth be told it have men who really inconsiderate like that.
I recall some years ago, my dad tried that on my mom unexpectedly brought home male friend of his and of course they had to get some grub.Well times were pretty hard back then so she'd just threw together a small pot of food...for the six of us, my dad,my mom,my brother,my two sisters and myself.
It didn't have enough for a seventh mouth, and my mom got so mad.
Man we had to already share a small meal that got even smaller, well my mom didn't talk to my dad for a while, and looking back on it, I think he deserved it.

My husband knows that unless he tells me in advance (at least a day or two), then we're going out to eat! When it's just the two of us, if we don't have time to plan the meal, we pick up dinner or go out to eat because I'm not cooking with no notice. Sometimes I'll think up what I want to make for dinner while I'm at work so I can start on it as soon as I get home, but most days aren't like that because I'm tired from work. It's easier just to pick something up. I don't mind cooking for company, but I need time and notice to plan. Thankfully, my hubby knows the rules lol!

Thank goodness my husband has always called first before having someone over. If he didn't though I would probably say the more the merrier! I always cook so much at one time, my husband says are you planning on feeding an army? Lol.
