[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do not get the need for reciprocation. It’s about the kids and the kids can’t decide that their parents should host. If you can’t afford it, do home movie nights with pancakes for dinner and popcorn for snacks. That’s like $1 a person. It’s really not hard to add extra kids to your household for a few hours. Honestly many parents dream of being the hangout house so they can be part of their kids’ lives and have control over their activities. [/quote]
It’s nice to have a mental health break once in a while too. The other parents gets a break when OP takes their kid. [b]Other parents shoujd reciprocate[/b]. ( not OP) [/quote]

It’s nice if they do and in an ideal world people should share hosting. But OP cannot control what this other woman does and she will just create an awkward situation or spat if she accuses this woman of basically being lazy and too far in remission to keep using cancer as an excuse.

All OP can do is control her own actions. Host what she feels comfortable with without the expectation of an invite in return.

And FWIW she doesn’t know the ins and outs of this woman’s diagnosis. People can be left with fatigue and chemo fog for months or years. Maybe she’s been left with some sort of permanent damage that makes her tired. It really doesn’t matter though because it is what it is.[/quote]
