how do you deal with stingy hmong people???
« on: December 03, 2019, 01:37:30 PM »
Had a family potluck thanksgiving
Every family was supposed to bring something
My wife make some fried noodles

Just as we suspected
This family members show up empty hand
Did bring all his kids (6 of them)

They say they don’t have money
And just show up to eat anyway

My wife and the other housewives are a little upset

This ain’t the first time “this family” does this
At wedding Party
They don’t give out any money

Even at funeral

“Oh they have life insurance” attitude
Yea, you still wanna give some funeral sunshine money

You spent a whole week at your MN cousin's house without paying anything, right? Now you know how upset they were.

Big bank takes care of little bank.  When you give or feed the hunger, you don't ask for nothing in return.  Just thank them for trying out your food is enough. 

You got a lot to learn.

It's a good etiquette to bring something when invited. But people shouldn't put down those who haven't brought anything to share.

I think there's one family like that in everyone's family/clan. 

I've been hosting our family/clan Thanksgiving for years now because no one wants to do it and I remember some years some families came w/out anything.  I was OK with it because I was young and don't mind working away in the kitchen.  Now that my stamina is not as vibrant as it was....I set a family meeting w/ all the ladies to decide on a menu - who is bringing what etc...and that seems to work pretty well.

Not sure why you're "upset" when in actuality you're the "stingy" one since you could've just win the lotto and help them out as you're the "hmong Nostradamus and always right"...

Again, why worry about a "$10" share when you can just win the lotto since you're the "hmong Nostradamus and is always right"??  ???

Don't be upset bro, it's thanksgiving.  In fact, you all should cook a bunch of things and take it to their house and hand it to them and say it's for their kids.  The parents may not think much of it, but the kids will grow up remembering your kindness, forever.

I think every family has a family member that is like this.  Once or twice it's okay but when it becomes every gathering, it becomes a problem. All the hard working wives has a right to be upset. I would be to.

It’s like work, not every employees will bring something but they are welcome to join in, plenty of foods.


Maybe they are on a budget.
