Nope... if I invite anyone for dinner then thats just it.... I am not a restaurant so why would they pay?
No because if its in your home its usually family

Because it’s on trend especially with people struggling this year ?

My family would pay me not to cook it 
Jesus where as all the good will and kindness in this world gone if people resort to charging familyI’m on about family being charged
MOTM
Exactly. It’s now a thing ?Jesus where as all the good will and kindness in this world gone if people resort to charging family
I would never expect family to pay for anything, if im inviting them into MY home... itd different if we are all out for a meal... but its taking liberties asking for money for a home cooked meal

This to me is the most skankiest thing someone can do.If you invite people then it's your responsibility to pay.If you can't afford to feed them,then don't invite them x
Some stingy bastards around aye. x

I think there is a huge difference between offering to bring something like a bottle of something or dessert to charging a price per head to help out. If we host for my mam for example at Xmas, she always brings something even if it’s crackers but that’s as far as it goes ?
MOTM
I think it's common courtesy to take an offering of sorts,If you are a guest in somones home,but if I turned up for dinner,and one of my lot said "right that's a tenner",I'd tell them fuck off and go and have some beans on toast x
MOTM
Only a tenner ? Saw summit in the daily snail about a mother wanting to charge her kids £50 each
Can I charge her for making a coffee 
Simple really, if you can't afford to invite round then don't

If I didn’t like them ???????? but seriously no who’d be such an arsehole to do that ?
MOTM
From what I've heard you could not pay them to eat it. ?

I think if families are close they know each other’s situation and will often bring something to contribute to the whole. As for us I could never charge for inviting people into my home - friends always say I’ll bring this, I’ll bring that and that is just good manners. But money changing hands moves it to a business transaction in my eyes not friends or family who you care about and are close to.

It’s always polite to take something if invited , but if I were to invite anyone I’d never want anything it’s down to me to feed and water them ....
I’d this just another sign of the weird attitudes people seem to be getting during this extraordinary time ...

I think it depends on numbers, I’m a very social person and love opening the house up to welcome friends around, so when there is usually around 10 of us (pre COVID) everyone does bring something, but a friend or another couple then no - usually a bottle for us to enjoy arrives ?
