[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]YES! I love hosting big dinners and never clean them up. Guests do it.[/quote]

I should say I plan, cook, serve...but don't clean.[/quote]

Why don’t you help clean too? That’s so strange to me. I would rather the host didn’t have me over if I was expected to do the cleaning while they sit around[/quote]

You expect to be served a fully holiday meal while contributing nothing? In my family and close friend groups, we help. [/quote][/quote]

No I help the host so that’s why I would be turned off if he/she did nothing to help cleanup. If it’s too much for you, then don’t invite people over to your home for a meal[/quote]

Um, good guests don’t help because “it’s too much for the host,” they help because being entertained in someone’s home is different from dining in a restaurant, and staying under a friend’s roof is different from staying in a hotel. I’ve been the guest of a university president, just the family, and I helped clear the table, and also helped to bring in coffee. I’m surprised that anyone would think sitting around like a bump on a log is the norm. I’m so embarrassed for you.[/quote]
