It is important to never impose someone’s chumras onto others. I heard as a halacha psak from Rav Yitzchok Berkowitz (Sanhedria Murchevet) that a person is never allowed his chumra, which by defintion is bain odom l’mokom, to override his chiyuv d’Oraisa of bain odom l’chaveiro. If one eats only Badatz and his Shabbos guests brings a bottle of wine from the OU, Hilchos Derech Eretz dictates that you serve it.
By my in-laws for Pesach, each son-in-law has his own chumros and my shvigger tries to cater to each ones liking. This ones “No unpeelable veggies”, that ones “only home made items”, and that ones “only home squeezed grape juice”! While I do have certain chumros that my in-laws do not keep, they never know about it, because I won’t tell them. Yes, there are things that I won’t touch, but they don’t know what. Each year they try to figure it out.
