Belichick for President
Hi fellow Pats fans,, just wanted to pose this question/scenario and see what your opinions/experiences are.
I kind of caused some Family friction Friday, when my Sister in law showed up to pick up my niece from a Thanksgiving sleepover. We hosted Thanksgiving as we do every year, we provided the Turkey, Ham, and all the appetizers, and my Wife`s family brought beverages, some small dishes but not much in the way of food, just corn and bean caserole.
As far as I always thought, if you go to someones elses home for a party and bring something, you dont take it home with you,even if you bring your own dish, you take your dish but leave the food. Well my one sister in law has a habit of taking her stuff home, and she never offers to clean up after a party.
Well on friday when she came to pick up my niece, she made a B-line for my fridge, started opening up all the containers to see what was left(which wasnt much at all) and said she wanted to take some food home.I kind of let in to her and told that it wasnt proper etiquette to do what she does.
She asked me "what, you get to keep all the food"?Anyways, maybe I`m off base, but there wasnt even much left, and I like leftovers.The way I look at it is, we bought the bulk of the expensive stuff,prepared it, and have to do all the cleaning up afterwards for 12 guest.
Thoughts?
