[quote=Anonymous]I kind of get the anxiety of about kids making a mess.  Some of our friends' kids are really wild, and when they leave, the rooms where the kids were playing in look like a tornado went through it.  I dread that part.  Most of the time, when we leave a friend's house, I make sure the kids do a bit of help cleaning up.  But other parents don't seem to do that at my house.  It does irk me some.  But yes, if you want to maintain those friendships and be invited over, you do have to reciprocate.   My DH is more social than I am and is more accepting of the mess than me.  I think it gets a bit easier when the kids are older.

Maybe you could have a picnic at the park. I know that only works in non-winter months.  In the winter, maybe just host once or twice as a compromise.  I don't know old your kids are, but they should also help clean up the toys.  I tell my kids that this is part of hosing their friends - that they have to clean up after them.  And if they want to be invited to other people's houses then this is what they have to deal with because it goes both ways.[/quote]
