[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD (senior at college) wants to invite her out of state friend over for a week. 
I (mom) an anxious person with no social skills or friends and add to that, compulsively cleaning everything.
DD blames mom for lack of friendships since elementary school.
DD is worried that I may embarrass her before her friend and I understand her.

Please provide some guidance so that I can learn and adapt in a short time so I would not embarrass myself or DD before her friend.[/quote]

First of all. Being a parent and an introvert is not a crime and extrovert kids make and keep friends regardless of mom's social skills.

As far as her friend's visit, just relax and be accepting of yourself, your DD and her friend. None of you has to be a perfect host or guest, just kind to each other.

Be welcoming but let them hang out by themselves more. Encourage DD to go show her friend her town and favorite restaurants,. This way they'll be out for several hours and eat out for many meals. [/quote]
