[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Etiquette requires that everyone is clear who is providing food for whom. You should have explained that you were bringing your own, OP, otherwise you are putting your host in the position of working on your meal for nothing, which is extremely rude.

Of course your SIL attacked you for something completely different, and that is on her. But you can apologize for not warning her you were bringing your own food.

Now to the most important point: it's risky to enter someone's home, since this virus is aerosolized and droplet-transmitted. It does not make sense that you would be so careful about sharing food if you are taking the serious risk of being indoors with them in the first place!!!

So none of you are being very intelligent here.

You do know that a picnic happens outside right? And that OP said the host never prepared a meal? Oh dear.[/quote]

No, actually the OP didn't say that.  The OP sniffed because the SIL purchased the already prepared food.  And now OP is trying to validate her rudity.[/quote]

You're wrong, angry PP. The post says:

"We visited SIL, my brother and their kids yesterday (they live a few towns over) and brought our own picnic supplies so we could distance visit. I didn't think twice about packing food, it's what we've done whenever we hang out with anyone. We haven't really seen them much since the pandemic began.

SIL was enraged that we brought our own picnic supplies (sandwich fixings/glasses/drinks/etc) and accused me of insinuating that she's not taking the pandemic seriously."

Stop projecting. Where does the OP say anyone bought food? Please cite! TIA.[/quote]
