So say you...not that I ever have, unless it was a bottle of wine to contribute to the dinner...or a potluck where everyone brings something.

I'm just saying I, me,and myself..DON'T find it rude....
We can't all agree obviously...so be it...but that is MY opinion.

I still feel my mother was rude about it...she could have at least explained that to me, or just watch her portions....or she could have eaten before she came. Do any of you, who are dieting, bring your own food to parties?

That's exactly the kind of thing my mother would do. It's beyond rude, it's hurtful. Deliberately hurtful.

Now, granted, there are people who will always believe that homemade is far superior to store-bought. (I always wonder where their ingredients come from, if not the store!)
