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 ?

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

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 ?
