Why do people insist on...

Thanks Wishing on A Star!!

From now on, I'll just say sure and try to give her ideas, but won't expect what I suggest!

My family must be weird. When invited to a party or dinner, we always ask "Can we bring something?". If the answer is "no", which sometimes it is, we honor that wish and bring nothing (although usually we'll bring a hostess gift). If the answer is yes, and no foods are assigned, we ask "What do you need/what would you like?" If then given a suggestion, we bring that. If not given a suggestion, then and only then do we wing it and bring what we want.

We don't get uptight or upset about it. But then we are pretty laid back about most things in life, anyway.

I agree! I take it as a night where I can enjoy a nice meal and not have to cook! I do the same when i invite someone to my house they get a night off from cooking.
