In Fergus Kelly's A Guide To Early Irish Law he talks about hospitality. It states that hospitality is a mandatory requirement by all who own a house/home/land unless they have continually rejected seekers of hospitality. Sadly, the various sections don't mention anything about cutting off hospitality when the guest becomes a "freeloader". Especially if the guest is family, either by blood or marriage. *p*I am asking this line of questioning because I have a sister with a newborn child. Her husband and my sister like home-cooked meals, i.e. my Mom's cooking. Yet they have their own home(recently bought). Yet I suspect they come over (almost every weekend) for one of my Mom's meals. My family is very close. I accept this, yet I find their acts of coming over for meals somewhat pre-meditated. If true, is there anything within the hospitality laws on how to deal with *br*" freeloasders "?*p*I know this sounds _VERY UNCELTIC OR UNDRUIDIC_ but you have to admit that not all things that applied centuries ago apply to todays world. Thoughts?
