Miss Manners: My grown kids won’t contribute to our Thanksgiving potluck

Hosts have observed younger adults with stable lives arriving empty-handed for 15 years despite a sign-up spreadsheet and requests to contribute dishes at Thanksgiving.

Summary by Alabama Live
DEAR MISS MANNERS: For the past 15 years or so, my wife and I have been hosting a potluck feast for Thanksgiving, with about 30 friends and family joining us at our house. In our invitation, we announce that we’re supplying the turkey, soft drinks, booze and a few other staples, and ask others to bring an appetizer, side dish, dessert, etc. We even circulate a sign-up spreadsheet to keep things organized.
