Side note: I learned family rules from family, and picked up some basic etiquette there as well. But my parents don't entertain friends often at all. (Like twice a year is a banner year.) Frankly, they don't have many close friends. Casual dinner get-togethers do not happen in their world, either giving or receiving. I picked up my "rules" for those elsewhere, or made them up, as an adult.
