[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you talking about hosting playdates, or adult dinner parties? If he doesn't want to invite a big group over for a party I think it's fine to not host, just be sure to bring a bottle of wine and be a good guest. Not everyone likes to host dinner parties. But if he won't let your DS have playmates and their parents over, that would be a big problem for me. It's not fair to your kids to never let them host sleepovers etc. Is there an area of your house that can be a kids zone where the kids can make a mess while the adults chat nearby? Is your son old enough to help clean up after himself and his friends?

It sounds like maybe your DH has underlying anxiety or some other kind of issue. Cleaning up while people are still over is pretty rude and over the top. [/quote]

I'm talking a few preschool friends and their families over for playing and pizza. DS is 3 and an only child. We have a playroom on the main level and a finished basement. DH would want to impose rules about food/drink staying in the kitchen area (we have an open floor plan) and I'm not comfortable with that because it doesn't put people at ease.

I'm 15:17.  I think it's fine to tell the kids to keep the food/drink in the kitchen area.  Set a kid friendly size table for the kids.  They can go play, and when they want food/drink, they can come and nibble then go run off again, and come back if they want more.  Set the rule: food/drink only on this table.  We have done this, and so have other friends.  I would definitely do this with toddlers. [/quote]
