[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can we move on from discussion around bringing a hostess gift? I think most normal people would agree it’s not a huge deal if someone doesn’t bring one.

I would like to know how both sets of guests thought it was OK to ask for leftovers to take home? It’s one thing if they are offered but I find it strange to ask for them [/quote]

It used to drive me INSANE when my SIL would come to a big family dinner (three familes -- all related) and pack up leftovers for each of her GROWN sons, who were too busy to come to the family dinner. She brought tupperware with her just for that purpose.

My feeling - if you're too busy to come to the dinner, you don't get to eat the dinner.[/quote]

My SIL also did this once. We had her over for brunch and had just a bit of food left over and she asked if she could take a Tupperware with the leftovers to eat later. I obliged but was surprised. I had put in the effort of cleaning and cooking and was going to enjoy the leftovers, myself. IMO it’s rude to ask for leftovers to take home unless the host offers. [/quote]

This is so rude and thoughtless. [/quote]
