[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 2.5 yo toddler is too young to care about playmates but I'd love to hang out with  SAHD. Diversity of opinions and viewpoints. Hanging out with women make forming friendship easier but I'd like to talk about something else with a guy. Anyway I WOTH and don't have the energy to do any playdates. A friend invited me once to her home, once to a pool and I still feel the heavy burden to reciprocate. But I hate hosting and I hardly ever do, even for super close friends or family. Part of it is feeling/fearing judgment on the home but the bigger reason is I'm introverted with a perfectionist personality so hosting something always unduly stresses me out.

When my kid starts enjoying playmates company I'd be interested to find out how I'll accommodate her needs. [/quote]

Some one replied, in some post on DCUM, that as women only talk about chapped nipples and sutures, why would a SAHD want in on that! I'm glad you stomped that preconception!  Like wise, even with other SAHD's I wouldn't be satisfied talking sports for hours.

I apologize if my post  added to the burden to host. I've learned from all the replies here it's just not always viable. Peoples reasons are many, and varied.
