We always try to and get upset. This is where I stand on this issue, I feel that at times I go way beyond trying to please guests than I do with my own loved ones, and then I feel bad.
As I present home made hot from the oven biscuits, ne'r a thank you nor any acknowledgement. Do we give guests our best and our families get the scraps?
I believe this to be true much of the time, and it is something I want to change. But there is only so much energy in this body, once it is gone, then it is frustration and weary bones that are left. But I want our family to be #1. This is a battle I face every day in this business. As mentioned if you have an outside the home job, then you know where the lines are drawn, at home it is your family, out there it is work.
I guess on top of it, I have a daughter with a 103 fever and to have guests not even acknowledge the biscuits I made and served up warm with jam and butter...just kinda made me feel like a bad mother.
(PS Her fever is down as I type this, she is fine, just got the crud that is going round and trying to fight it off)
You can't please them all
Some people are unpleasable, some people are ungrateful
