Some of you are getting lost. I posted about my mother ,the OP posted about a friend. The casserole I referred to us my mother's recipe and Like I said I had no problem fixing the whole meal. My problem was that I didn't get the ingredients or schedule if because she volunteered to specifically bring that. Its something the whole family looks forward too.Was I mad and making threads about it? No but it was an unneeded hassle 24 hours before. I didn't say much but decided the following years just to do the whole thing myself. I don't mind the work and I'm a little bit of a food snob so it's.worth the extra effort to know it's going go be up go my standards and my family will be happy I've provided the experience they've come to expect.
I was referring to the current thread. Not the previous one..I haven't read that one and I'm going to assume that you are correct. However this thread makes no mention of it being her mother,as far as I can remember.

I think we are all assuming, given the similar thread from last year, and the lack of details given in this one.
Extremely tacky on the host/hostess part. I wouldn't have gone either and put myself in that situation.
If they wanted a customized meal, they should eat out or prepare themselves.
I never assign dishes to anyone if I invite them for dinner{casual or holiday}. They are welcome to bring anything they want or nothing at all, the purpose for me to host a meal/gathering is to share a meal/experience, not have everyone cater the meal for me. SMH
Exactly. The OP made it sound as though it was an acquaintance, when it was her own mother. Suck it up OP, and make your mother happy.
Wait a minute....this was the OP's MOTHER?? Oh good grief! Why not just say that from the beginning? That puts a whole different spin on everything. She should know how her own mother is and what is expected. If she can't handle it, then don't do it! Be a grown up!!!

The OP did go, she was just passive aggressive and made something else after agreeing to make what the hostess requested.
Both displayed a lack of class here.
