I moved into the ward with four children. I could never have people over unless it was a couple. I could never have the missionaries either, because I'm the dreaded single head of household mom.
Yet my son(s) as Priesthood holders are technically out ranking me because they hold the priesthood.
My son is now over 21, an adult, a Melchisdek Priesthood holder, yet he can't fill in as the appropriate adult male in my home so I could have the missionaries over to the house! I'm still a danger according to Mormon think!
So I'm never to have any Mormons over except 'couples' unless I was married and Husband was home because Husband was an adult?
Yet my Adult worthy priesthood holder son could not qualify as 'adult'?
Yet my son out ranks me in my home by virtue of Priesthood alone???
Help mormon think! I'm so glad it is a non issue since I'm out of the church..... but it made me wonder when I was active.
Any exceptions to these goofy rules? If I had a big house or invited other gfs over could I have had the 'honor' of feeding the missionaries???
