[quote=Anonymous] You need to work on getting your child to feel less shame over her living space. The sooner she learns to be OK with who she is, the better. She wants to be friends with people for whom her (normal, not oversized) house is not an issue! We live in a tiny house. My teens have hosted single friends or small groups, and I just float around. I don't hide. I even participate in some conversations, get snarked by DD, and take everything with humor. I would make sure that you stock all the snacks and drinks that they love, and maybe get your teen's help in decorating, especially for Halloween or any other little party she might want to have. Sometimes cozy is best! I promise that if she has a nice group of friends, it's all your personalities together that will grease the wheels of friendship and hosting, not the size and amenities of your house. [/quote]
