Miss Manners: Friends treat our beach home like a rental house

  Miss Manners: Friends treat our beach home like a rental house Comment on this storyComment Dear Miss Manners:  There’s a local saying where we live: “You never know how many friends you have until you have a beach house.” We were lucky enough to have bought a beach house before prices in our area spiraled out of control. We frequently invite friends, new and old, to stay with us, but we have noticed a trend that disappoints us. Some “friends” seem to see us as innkeepers rather than hosts. They will rise late, leave for the day, and sometimes return after dark (they can come and go in their own entrance). They share neither breakfast nor dinner with us, despite our repeated invitations, leaving us with an abundance of food we purchased to share with them.
