[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would laugh w her about it and say yes, I am old fashioned and just do it for me…bring a nice consumable [/quote]

She said I got irate. Maybe I did. It is the way I was raised. I wouldn’t think twice. I would definitely bring a gift. Maybe I should have bought. We have a great cake at a local bakery, but she didn’t want to drag on train. [/quote]

The way I was raised, is if you have a difference of opinion with someone, you don’t become “irate” over it. I think it’s far more important for an adult to be able to control their temper than for an adult to bring host and hostess gifts. [/quote]

I don’t think I was really irate imo. But anyway, I’ve learned my lesson. When she stayed at roommate’s house during LA fires (they were away) I sent thank you flowers. I had met them a couple of times. They drove us to game, so I felt I could do it.[/quote]

“They drove us to game”? Perhaps you should be more concerned about your lack of writing skills rather than whether your grown adult daughter thinks and behaves exactly the way you’d prefer. [/quote]
NP and wow! OP is asking a legitimate question, and everyone is jumping all over her.

FWIW, I think something small is nice, but I can't remember if I did this when I was in college. I was always polite and offered to help in kitchen etc, though.[/quote]
