Social WMA- WWYD?

My Blue Heaven

I have a social pickle and I'm not sure what to do.

 I've gotten friendly w a Mom at J's school and we've gotten together for a playdate (with other moms and kids) at her house. I asked her the first time "can I bring anything" and she said no. When we got there another mom had made brownies and I felt like a dope for not ignoring her and bringing something to nibble on. (For the record she'd also made snacks for everyone too.)

Tomorrow J and I are going over to play again, and this time it's just us. I asked her if I could bring something and she nicely said no, but now I'm wondering if I should just make a little something to share.

WDYT? I like this Mom (and her kid) and I don't want to socially step in it. WWYD?

TIA (as always you ladies are awesome!!) G

I'd bring something small- maybe cookies, scones, or a nice dessert bread? Make it low-key but just a little offering? I ALWAYS tell people no, but I'm never offended if they do bring something anyways.

I've never asked anyone if I can bring anything over their house.  I always do.  When I invite people over my house and they ask, I always say no.... I don't care what they do, but I personally don;t feel right going anywhere empty handed.  But thats just me.

If it's a party I will always ask just because I don't want to be the 100th person bringing dessert and that's the only type of food that's there.  For a "get together with children" (sorry I hate that other word that starts with P ) I would bring a something small to snack on.

EXACTLY this. I don't go to anyone's home without something. EVER. The only thing is....my husband is a beer snob so if friends are coming over we kinda all have an open thing that we all bring whatever alcohol we want if it's specific. I mean, I keep the general stuff everyone likes over but if you're looking for a Bud or a Coors, you're gonna have to bring it, lol.

I think baking some muffins or cookies or something is totally fine.

I never tell people I need anything, but I love when they show up with something yummy that I didnt ask for

I agree with others, bring something small...mini cupcakes, fruit salad, cookies. I always telling my friends not to bring anything but they never listen! LOL I do not get offended though, they always get the best treats!

I'd bring some sort of snack.  You could bring something for the kids to share.

I never go to anyone's home empty handed. So I would definitely bring something, even small, to any playdate. I never ask- I just bring something. Some muffins, one of those small veggie/dip platters, a bag of pretzels, whatever.

Are you sure noone in the house has any food allergies ? Take that into consideration. You never know.
