[quote=Anonymous]I'm the same way.  However awhile back I realized with my best friends if I waited until the house was perfect to invite people over I would never have company.  I also recognized how anxious I was about the food being just right, the house being just right etc. and my best friends from college straight out said - don't worry about it - we're here to visit you not the house.  Apart from the work to get the house clean (which comes in handy because at least then the dining room table finally gets cleared off) - I try to be more mellow and don't worry about perfect.  I'm still not ready to have large groups of people with children come by but I can handle the one family with kids visiting or a group of close friends visiting.  When it's family or close friends the pressure to play "host" isn't as great - and you get to the point where it isn't an issue to say the glasses are in this cabinet or the juice is on the side of the fridge.  After fifteen years, I think my friends from college and I are at the point that we can go into each other's fridge to get something if need be.  Once I realized that it was okay for people that I know well that are visiting to help - it made the visits a lot less stressful.[/quote]
