[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, we're currently living in a tiny rental waiting for our house to be finished, so it's been hard for me to initiate plans with people at my kids' school unless it's something we can do out of the house (and then I'm asking them to pay for an activity unless we do something free like a park, which we have done).  But we can't host people for meals (we literally have four chairs and four people in our family and that's it) and even having people over for a play date is so hard because there is nowhere to go.  Once we have our house it will be different, and I can't wait to have people over, but right now it's tough for me to initiate plans and then expect for people to host us.  So just consider that others have reasons for not initiating and be grateful that everyone seems to say yes when you ask![/quote]

I have an acquaintance like this. She lives in an apartment (permanently) and refuses to host. She's always really upset when she's not invited and she'll often grill me about if there were events she wasn't invited to. She's insinuated that everyone else should always host her and her daughter because we have houses. I straight up told her that she could invite us for a playdate at a splash pad, a bounce house place or even a big meetup at a playground. It's been 4 years now of the rest of us hosting her constantly and she never once hosted. [/quote]
