[quote=Anonymous]I am like you my parents never hosted because my mom was a basketcase at just the idea of it and so I never learned. I want to do it more but I get so stressed. I agree with PP. If ordering food will make you enjoy the experience and therefore more enjoyable to be around I think you should order the food. People would rather have takeout with a pleasant host than home cooked with a miserable host. And I am guessing it would go a long way to imprvong the dynamic between you and DH before and after hosting. I would do this a few times and get your confidence up before you start trying to add in cooking. When you do add it cooking start with mixing homemade and things you picked up. Also, with the warm weather coming take advantage of having DH grill. It gets some of the mess and some of the people out of your space.[/quote]
