Default Bringing Extras!

I get so angry with some of the family during any given holiday. I will invite all of the family to a dinner and they will bring everyone they can think of, I don't mind if they let me know we're having extras coming, but more often than not, they will invite all of their friends, friends families and whomever they can think of. It's rude and disrespectful to me but they continue to do it even after I've talked to them about it. Sometimes my family kills me!

That's rude of them to do that. Have you talked to them and let them know how much it upsets you? I know you said you talked to them but did you let them know it's upsetting to you? It's hard to plan when extra people come around.

Well I think the next time I invited them and it was the same ones that always did this, I would tell them right up front NOT to bring anyone else. You only plan on cooking so much and you don't want to run out of food.

I would get angry too. It's one thing to give you plenty of notice about how many will be coming and it's another to just surprise you by bringing their best friend, best friend's children, and 4 long lost cousins of their best friend. I know it's passive aggressive but if it were me I would just stop inviting them.

Wow, why would they bring others to your home for dinner? Have you ever not had enough food for everyone that showed up? I would stop inviting them - that would teach them.

How rude! I can't imagine people doing this. I would stop inviting them to dinner too. Maybe they would get the hint and stop inviting other people!

I agree with the others here. I would just stop inviting them! When they ask you why I would be blunt, and tell them exactly why I stopped inviting them.
