[quote=Anonymous]I felt the exact same way as you did before I had a child, and still do.  Now that I have a child, however, I can see the other side of the coin.  It is very difficult to get out of the house with a small child (so much harder than I ever imagined).  I will sometimes end up not getting together with people unless we meet at my house, or close to the house.  I just can't do it sometimes with my daughter's nap schedule, feedings, etc.  You realize after having a child that his/her needs must come first, even if it means that you have to make your friends come to you.

Having said all of that, I fully appreciate what you are saying.  Perhaps you can elicately suggest that you have accomodated them the last few times and it would really be helpful to you this time if you got together at your house, or closer to your house.  I think that's perfectly reasonable.  Unfortunately, however, I do think that more often that not, if you want to keep seeing your friends, you will have to make more of the effort.  If not, they may not get together.     [/quote]
