[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You're totally wonderful, but we're just lame (and infrequent) hosts-- at least at home. We really do have our reasons for this, some of which could be quite personal and you actually wouldn't want to hear them.

Hope you're ok with being invited to join us in other activities. And please, keep including us in your plans. [/quote]

In my case my husband is the cook in the family and less social so it is awkward for me to invite my friends over and expect DH to cook.  We also only likely have the house guest worthy clean right after our family has visited and when I've tried to piggyback off that and have a playdate or one couple come by, usually they already have plans that weekend.

Finally, yes I've become lazy about planning.  I used to invite people to meet out but it became waiting to hear back because they weren't sure of their schedule or they were running around most of the weekend.  If I wanted to try to meet two families out -  forget about it.  One could only meet Sunday pm and the other Saturday pm.  If I then commit to two different meetups, my DH is complaining how we don't have any downtime to relax etc. if he has to be involved in some way.  My two exceptions to my lack of planning things is if my DH really likes the other couple (we are talking would be willing to pay a babysitter and all the adults go out) then it's an easy sell to have him offer to host them OR if I know the mom and kids don't typically have lots of activities on the weekend and they are likely to be free, I'll do last minute plans to meet up.[/quote]
