We hosted Christmas this year for the family - me, DP and DD, my DParents, DB and DSIL, DUncle and DCousin and a family friend, so 10 of us in total.
We provided the bulk of the food, my DPs and uncle brought some booze and my DPs brought the pudding. DPs also brought some extra furniture and bits that we borrowed for the day.
I worked like a dawg in the kitchen - barely sat down until dessert - and everyone seemed very happy with their food. It was a lovely day and everyone stayed until late.
The next day, my DDad and DUncle came back to collect furniture and other bits. They swept into the kitchen and started fossicking in the fridge for any open bottles of wine to take back (there weren't any), and pounced on the open bottles of sherry and port, which were duly repatriated.
AIBU to think that this is a bit off? If I take booze to someone else's house I wouldn't expect it back, especially if my host had spent the day slaving and barely tasted a drop! Or is this normal behaviour?
