I tend to call others first too. It just doesn’t feel right to me not to do so.

Wow that sounds like a lot of pressure to have to always have extra food “just in case”...and a lot of work too. I have felt put on the spot many of times because I feel bad not offering food to our guests. Sometimes we could share and sometimes we just didn’t have enough. I’ve grown a lot since then and now I am quick to say

if we would have known you all were coming I could of prepared more.

This lets them know that sorry, there’s just not enough to go around.

Thanks for commenting and sharing :)
