Filthy Fernadez 2,696 Posted November 22, 2017 Some families have leeches that show up empty handed, consume all they can, drink all the expensive alcohol and treat the house like it's the sh!thole they live in (cig butts flicked in yard, no use of coasters, etc.....). My wife has family like that.......thankfully she stopped inviting them. On my side, I just don't bother with that type to begin with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reality 2,710 Posted November 22, 2017 I'm old school on this topic, don't offer to host if you aren't covering the cost of dinner. My family is pretty much BYOB, so alcohol has ever been an issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vuduchile 1,941 Posted November 22, 2017 We almost always host and we tell people to bring something if they want. There have been times when some of the young adults have shown up empty handed, but they've never been careless with our house. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They're the same ones man that you invite to dinner and they know you're picking up the tab so they immediately start asking how the most expensive dish is prepared.

tanatastic 2,061 Posted November 22, 2017 Wouldn’t even show up. Host pays, people bring stuff, it’s just how it is. I understand some people can’t afford to feed eleventy people and that’s fine, just don’t host. Or announce it as potluck from the get go. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
