<human>: My husband and I live in the United States and have a guest who is staying with us from Northern Europe for about a week. To preface, we love this guy and everything about the stay has been close to perfect.

A few days ago, we were both still sleeping in the mid-morning while our guest woke up (time differences make our waking and sleeping hours still a bit different), and started doing his own thing downstairs, making coffee, playing the good old X360, what-have-you.

This led to a discussion about housing and our perceptions of both house-er and house-guest:

* My husband: Whenever I visit my friends, I'm always told where the breakfast foods and the cooking utensils are, how to operate the shower, how to use the media center and television, coffeemaker, etc.. I'm always told to feel at home, get up and operate like I normally would and not worry about them. I feel the same way; I would be really happy knowing my guests could wake up and do their own thing in my house. I don't have to look after them, and I can stay on my own schedule and not feel bad thinking I have to take care of them the entire time.

* Me: Whenever I visit my friends, I feel like it's a big imposition and I don't want to be making noise too early or walk around like I own the place. If 'm up early, I feel way more comfortable reading a book or reading Reddit on the lappy in my room until my friends wake up. I'd feel bad making video game noise when they're sleeping or dirtying dishes without their being awake for it.

I feel the same way about hosting that my husband does (I'd want my guests to operate as they normally do, without feeling obligated to wait around for me to be up), but I feel like I'd also just get up early enough to be a good host and offer all of those activities to the person I'm hosting.

Provide a brief overview of the text.
<bot>: Husband believes guests should have freedom within the house, I've been raised to think (but follow both sets of ideas) guests should follow the owner's lead within the house. What's your thought?
