[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are not alone! I have the same experience! I am always the organizer/initiater, etc....and rarely, rarely is it reciprocated. We moved into our neighborhood nearly three years ago and all I heard was how wonderful it is, how friendly everyone is, 'best neighborhood ever,' etc. We held a housewarming party, a big party for the kids, and hosted 2-3 dinners in that first year..... Out of all that, I think maybe one family asked us to a party at a restaurant with like 50 other people. So either we suck and everyone hates us or it's true what people say about the DC area (no social skills, etc).

I gave up. Haven't hosted anything for a year now. I barely even smile and wave at folks anymore when I walk my dog around the neighborhood. It's hard. I come from the South where people are friendly and social. [/quote]

A housewarming and parties for your kids are for you, not for others and do not need to be reciprocated.  Many don't do parties or housewarming.  Housewarming is a gift grab.[/quote]
