I’ll never forget the night a guest handed me a plastic container and asked if I could “heat this up for my kid.” Inside was Tupperware pasta and when I politely declined, she acted like I’d insulted her family. I’ve also had adults bring in their own salad dressing or baby food, which feels like a gray area. I get wanting to keep kids happy, but using our kitchen for BYO leftovers? That’s a hard no for me. How do you handle it when guests bring in outside food?

If you bring food from home, you eat it at home. Period. Using our kitchen for your Tupperware spaghetti is nasty and a liability. I’d shut that down fast.

Gross. That's never acceptable. I'm okay with baby food and salad dressing. Same with birthday cakes. But Tupperware spaghetti is definitely crossing a line.
