[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You shouldn't expect free food for breeding people. [/quote]

Look, I get people should avoid feeling entitled, but on the other hand, society as we know it requires that people  (maybe not you, PP, but others, do reproduce and therefore introduce younger humans. Social Security, and continued maintenance of all the goods and services you need to live, requires there be younger people able to take on the burden when you are older. Caring for these younger people is a big task that individuals take on. They do it willingly, but it is a big task.
If you have the opportunity to know someone personally who is making this contribution to society--maybe you could make a casserole! Certainly not a requirement, but a nice thing to do. :)[/quote]

The issue is the expectation. Just read the thread title.

Plus I already bought this person a bridal shower gift, bachelorette gift/ trip if I'm in the party, wedding gift, baby shower gift, possibly gift when I go see the baby, plus planning for gift for 1 year old bday party (which in my circle is $$, not a $20 gift). For some this also includes housewarming/stock the bar. When does it end?[/quote]
