Miss Manners: My guests left a mess all over my house after our brunch
A pregnant host used disposables to avoid dish duty after a 10-person brunch, but guests left messes throughout the house — what are the expectations for guests to tidy up?
DEAR MISS MANNERS: My husband and I hosted a brunch gathering of about 10 people at our home.
