[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, maybe it is a cultural thing? My parents are from another culture that is similar- someone invites you over, you eventually want to reciprocate even if entertaining is not your "thing." I [b]don't think it's as big of a deal in American culture?[/b] Like, if you don't want to have a dinner party here, you just don't. There's no "code." I think that's why Americans have a lot of social problems.[/quote] Please don't generalize this to American culture. Well, maybe it is the "new" ruder modern culture. Lots of us in many parts of the country grew up experiencing and extending hospitality. We understand that even poor people who lack fancy homes still have friends and still make pots of chili or gumbo, etc. and entertain their friends. And their friends still have fun in homes that are small or cramped or badly decorated. [/quote]
