Almost six years later, and I still never go to dinner at FMIL's house empty handed.

I always bring something when I go visiting someones house...usually cookies...its out of respect and saying thank you for having me.

Re: Manners/upbringing

I NEVER go empty handed, but many people weren't raised to do this, so I understand when they don't. Most of my family members are like that actually.

I agree that in some places it's considered rude to bring something, b/c it assumes you thought the person wouldn't have enough.

Every culture/community is diff.
