[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People around here are mystifyingly cheap and bad hosts. I never experienced anything like it until I moved here. Where I come from and the circles I was in, running out of food for your guests no matter their age would be considered mortifying. Even coming close to running out so that your guests have noticed and are taking less food to be polite is considered bad hosting! Not serving food to all guests at whatever time of day just isn’t an option.

No one has ever been able to explain to me why this area in particular is like this. [/quote]

Everyone feels house poor? When I logged in NOVA, my fixer upper townhome cost 2x what my parents’ much nicer single-family home costs. People stretch to buy any house. Some stretch more so they don’t feel like they’re taking a step down. At the same time, they have wealthy friends who spend more. People feel financially strapped.[/quote]

Then don't throw a party if you can't afford it.

I'm solidly middle class ([b]less than 150k HHI)[/b], and still host properly.[/quote]

Is this why you’re really upset? Because you needed to give your kid and yourself lunch after a party and that represented a hardship. I’m sorry OP. [/quote]
