[quote=Anonymous]You are looking at this wrong.  Entertaining is not about reciprocation.  Have a party if you want to, but don't expect others to host as well.  This happens to everyone, some like to entertain and some do not.  I am a host - I host at least a couple different events (from one person to a family to big gatherings) each week, and very rarely get invites (other than birthday parties, wedding-related events, and corporate or facebook-arranged bar meetups (which I generally skip)).  Seriously, I think that I have been invited to people's houses only three times this year for events that were not of that type.  That is fine.  I would much rather they don't host at all, and I do the hosting, if it makes them uncomfortable.  Visiting someone who is uncomfortable hosting and always checking on things nervously is awkward for everyone.

It does make it difficult to get together with friends who have a lot of kids or kids of very different ages because I am not set up to host them.  I have a couple friends with 3 or more kids (even some with similar-aged, well-behaved girls), but I never host them.  It is too much, and I am not set up for it.  I do try to meet up with their parents for lunch or other events, but I would have absolutely no idea what to do with three additional kids of varying ages, and I never really wanted to learn.
