[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this is a weird hill to die on. If you wanted to keep all the dessert and eat it, you should have asked her to leave some. Most people, at dinner parties or potlucks, don't care about keeping things someone else brought. [/quote]

Exactly. People almost always take their left overs after pot lucks/family gatherings unless they're trying not to be alone with the large dessert and want to leave it.  I always offer to leave portions for the host but that't it. I've never attended any kind of get together where people brought tupperware and loaded up leftovers.

My sil hosted Thanksgiving one year and she invited a couple she knew. They brought nothing. I cooked a ham. It was the first family event for dh and I after having twins so we were trying to deal with them and enjoy the get together. It was a little hectic loading everything up to go and loaded the ham in the car as we were packing up to leave. I had left a lot of ham in the kitchen. As we are trying to leave the wife of the couple who attended held us up because she was upset I didn't leave the ham. You would have thought I had kicked a kitten from the way she acted. It was so rude and we were dealing with two howling babies. No one has ever side eyed someone so hard. I stared at her for a second and just rolled up the window and we left without saying a word. People are rude!
