[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find it so annoying when people think bringing a bottle of wine is reciprocating.  The worst part is that it's those people who bring the worst wine!  Don't show up at my dinner party with an $8 bottle of Jacob's Creek or Yellow Tail and think you're covering the cost of your meal.  Not that you need to cover your cost -- you don't at all but please don't think that you are.  I've had to learn to start serving those bottles of wine to those guests instead of my carefully chosen ones because that's what I get left with to drink after those guests are gone and having done that for YEARS, I'm just DONE.  Now the guest who brings a lovely bottle for my cellar and good conversation and doesn't host back, I can live with.  The family who picked up my kid in a pinch -- that's reciprocating, too.  The mom who plans the group activities, that counts too.  The best reciprocation for me is TIME.    Also, I should note that I appreciate the email the next day or week saying thanks for hosting.  It seems like the Yellow Tail mooches out there don't even remember to send the thank you email anymore![/quote]

I couldn't agree more.[/quote]
