[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's always the people with the small-ass houses that take all this hosting stuff so freaking personally.

It's not about you, it's just that you have a small-ass house, OK? It might be quaint, cozy and charming--a great place to enjoy a few meals and board games and watching a movie or two. But when it is time to sleep, I am an ADULT and I'm going to go sleep in a real bed, not in some air mattress in an unfinished basement. [/quote]

Insecurity.

I'm also the type who couldn't care less if visitors stay in a hotel, because I like my space too.  But my guess, OP, is that she knows her house is small, feels stressed about it, and now feels rejected for it.  I'm more of an open type so I'd probably be direct about this ("hey, I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings.  Please know I'm there first thing in the morning and after bedtime and so looking forward to it.  Let me know what I can bring! And promise me we're going to play dominoes again!") but the deflecting "thanks! Excited to see you Thursday!" is fine too.[/quote]
