Should I make treats, or forget about 'em this year?

[Ryosanada]

Almost all of the time I'm making treats and taking them in to work, and yet nobody else seems to even try to do this. Everyone says how they love the cookies I make and take in, and some used to tell me that I needed to make them everyday and sell them.

Then for Christmas time, I usually do cinnamon rolls and last year was the first time I took them into work for my coworkers to try and they begged for more...

Should I be nice, and take some in again this year, or should I forget about them, and take the treats to people whom usually give some form of a treat back?

I don't wanna sound like they HAVE to give treats back, but sometimes it's nice getting something from others over me always feeding them...

Sure take the treats in

Nope, they don't contribute so don't do it

You are not feeling appreciated that much is clear. However they seem to be telling you they appreciate things, but they are not responding in the way you want them to.

I suppose there is a flip-side of generosity and hospitality... on the one hand it makes you happy to give, on the other side you would kind of like to receive it back. That does not always happen.

So really the question you have to ask yourself is... Does it matter if they don't give back. Do you just enjoy the act of giving enough to keep doing it, or is the expectation of return and not receiving it too much? If the former, keep doing it, if the latter, let it go.

I would gladly try your cookies, but ummm you would not want to reciprocate. I can't bake to save my life. However I would be happy to trade some oreos for real cookies! :-)

best wishes!

lol thanks. I guess I'd like to see my coworkers put some effort into doing things like this more than getting stuff in return. I'm always the one whom does this, then I listen to them say how good their stuff is, but they never buck up and actually bring it in for us to try. As for baking, pratice make perfect. I didn't start out being as good as I am today.

And oreo's rock too.
