Dear Prudence,
Please help put an end to an argument my husband and I have every time an out-of-town family member comes to visit. I feel if a person makes an effort to buy a plane ticket and visit us from out of town, we should be happy to pick him or her up from the airport regardless of the time of arrival. Husband feels it’s rude for a person to expect to be picked up, especially after 11 p.m. or during peak rush hour, and should use a car service or a cab to get to our house. (Note: He feels we, too, should do this and not expect family members and friends to pick us up from the airport when we arrive somewhere.)
