Taking food round houses

Ok

We are talking two household social bubble here.

Our 'bubble house' visits us and brings own lunch and food for children from a take away but without letting us know or bringing us any. Now I don't EXPECT anything or anyone to bring food & drinks, we have food & drinks for goodness sake but anyway... we didn't say anything, make our lunch and sit down. I was peeved actually that they decided to take over the whole table and left a gap for me and DH to put a plate but anyway

The above happened before Christmas, weeks ago. Below happened on Saturday

We are off to visit the 'bubble house' kids are hungry after pre-school. We have been invited for 'a cuppa' so unsure of food situation so pick up food. Arrive and get "thanks for ringing us and asking us if we wanted anything"

DH said he doesn't feel bad, there was no mention of food, it was just one of those things the kids were hungry. Should we feel bad though?

@Gobbeldegook

Why is everyone going on about English laws? There's a whole world out there you know
OP was written in colloquial English, so it's a fair assumption they're in Britain. True, the time of posting indicates they could have been in the US or Canada, but usually posters preface their situation by saying so.

Depends if you like them or not? While what they did was weird, you could have used the second time as an opportunity to set a precedent instead of being passive aggressive about it.

Support bubbles aren’t mandatory, if you don’t actually like them then don’t see them 🤷‍♀️

Ok firstly

I was annoyed they didn't bring me food to my house. I thought it odd to being food for themselves and my kids, sit down at the table and eat dinner. Me and hubby just like watched them take over the house. It was odd. I didn't say anything like I said I hyped it up for the kids how special it was. They bought food for themselves too

When we went round we went in - kids ate out the boxes. What's the point in adding to washing up and that when the comment was made

To clarify

I wasn't annoyed* that wasn't meant to read haha it just found it odd that's all. I don't expect it, I did say but odd to behave like that
