[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What I never understand in these dynamics is why everyone is so eager to host.  It's a lot of damn work.

When I am older, I will happily let my kids host.  Would love every minute of it, in fact.  Arrive, drink, eat, socialize, do perfunctory assistance to clean up, leave.

Sounds like a dream come true.[/quote]

My issue is that I don't want to spend the night. I love to host, and don't mind it when other people host but OMFG if I have to spend another Wednesday-Sunday at my inlaws for Thanksgiving I feel like I might go insane. There are now 9 of us in a 3/2 house with seating for 4 (rest of us eat on fold up chairs). If I could just go, socialize, eat and leave it would be a dream come true. [/quote]

Yeah, I get it.

My family are stay-in-hotel people.  Thank god.  Or rent a VRBO.  But I understand some people are obsessed with all piling in one house together.  Yet another thing I don't understand.  You really want to have all these people in your house for days on end and be responsible for feeding them all meals?  No thanks.  Everyone needs space.[/quote]
