DEAR ABBY: I have a friend I sometimes invite over for dinner. Invariably, when I offer him seconds, he’ll say “no thanks, but I’ll take it home.” The same thing happens if I offer him a beer or soda -- “No thanks, but I’ll take it home.” It doesn’t feel right to me and I’m not sure how to express that I’m offering this NOW, not as a doggie bag. Or should I stop offering him seconds? He doesn’t have money issues, so he doesn’t need to do this.
DEAR BAFFLED: Yes, I do. That he wants to take the food you prepare home to enjoy the next day is a compliment. However, since it bothers you, tell him that if he isn’t going to eat it with you, your offer is rescinded.Dear Abby: Asking for guidance should not involve swallowing your prideDear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.
