If you're an introvert, do you hate it when your kids have friends over?

[Anonymous]

No, I don't. I am an introvert because I find having engaging social interactions to be mentally exhausting. Watching some kids is physically exhausting but not similar to the type of mental exhaustion I experience from being introverted. Experiencing mental stress from having kids around strikes me as more of an anxiety issue than an introversion issue.

No! I love it because the kids are all focused on each other and I can actually have a little alone time in another room.

What does the bolded mean? Are you afraid of your kid meeting strangers? If that's what you mean it sounds like you have other issues happening. That kind of fear is not something you want to pass on to your kid, have you considered therapy?

Wow, you're stupid. "Never met a stranger" means that PP's child is friendly towards everyone he or she meets, and tends to invite them to play. Therefore PP has a lot of potential playdates on her hands, and she struggles with that.

Geez, why the name calling? PP didn't know the expression and asked. Calm down.

I'm the person quoted. Jesus, calm down. I have never in my life heard that term so I took it as a literal statement.

Quit getting mad because you made yourself look stupid.

I'm not mad at all. And just because I have never heard anyone use the term used in this manner does not mean I'm stupid. Grow up, pp.

Love it. More frustrated when the other parent wants to join.

NP. Not an native English-speaker and never heard the expression either. Angry name calling PP, how many foreign languages do you speak?

Also NP. It is an old fashioned term. I think it was popular in the early and mid decades of the last century. It was used a lot in regard to Will Rogers.
