[quote=Anonymous]Every group seems to have their own rules for this. With one group of women who became dear friends, we were all cheerful slackers who had a pretty firm "no catering" policy. Maybe that week's hostess would boil water for tea/coffee, but that was about it. Kids' snacks were BYO. You showed up, played, gossiped and went home. Now I'm in another group that's going through a coffee/donuts/fruit/bagels/cupcakes phase and while the food is delicious (and the people equally wonderful), I dread having to be organized enough to put out a spread when it's my turn. I think if the host says to come empty-handed, that's what you should do. I think of playgroups as being more akin to a co-op than to a pure social invitation. You contribute by showing up, helping to police your rugrat and hosting on a regular basis. No scented candles, muffins or fruit bowl necessary.[/quote]
