[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, it sounds like you are a super good party giver, if people are complementing you. Maybe they feel like nothing they would do would be as nice?

Maybe try a more casual get together, like a potluck or very simple pizza party for your next party (or tacos or something similar) that seems more simple, less work and less costly. See what happens. Maybe not for a holiday.

My house looks like crap, my laundry baskets are all full, and I am embarrassed to have anyone over. If someone is throwing beautiful parties for different holidays, I would be too embarassed to order some pizza and invite them over.[/b][/quote]
Same here.[/quote]

Why do so many people's house looks like crap and they are behind on household chores? I honestly don't understand it.  Every time I go to someone's house it's a huge mess, cluttered, kids toys everywhere.  If it's because it's 2 full-time working spouses and there is no time on the weekends because you're running around to kid activities, well why did you have more than one kid then?  Or why don't you move to a lower cost of living area where one spouse can go part-time or SAH?  I just don't get why so many of my friends are on frantic mode most of the time.  There are choices they could make to have less stressed, less frantic lives.[/quote]

Ha, my house is messy because I feel like living a less stressed and frantic life and if I was bent about that then I would be more stressed and frantic!

OP I like hosting and do on occasion and I'm fairly introverted but you know what I hate? People who do things like host a party just to get invited to a bunch of parties. This is like thank you notes. If you want to do something for me that you consider nice/kind but comes with some social expectation please just don't invite me. Honestly in your posts you have kind of a judgy tone and you seem like kind of a lot. If I had you in the 'high maitenence' bucket I probably wouldn't even reach out for things like playdates because you're kind of exhausting.[/quote]
