[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think takers tell themselves stories, like “oh well they have a basement so it’s easier to host there,” or “well they only have 2 kids and we have 3” or “well our dog jumps a lot.”
It’s kind of bullshit IMO
The ratio at which I host the friend stuff is insane. I do it because otherwise my sensitive kid won’t have friend hangouts and will be super sad on weekends and instead on screens 100 percent of the time. 
I do not so it because I think perpetually hosting is awesome. I like and need quiet time to do laundry too.

The following is not a dig at your kid or family, it's an explanation of mine: I have an only child who is mellow, and we're busy with activities much of the weekend. When we're home, I don't need her out of the house or kept occupied. Therefore I don't feel the same way about reciprocating as some of the parents who view a playdate offer as a welcome break. 
I get that many families are different, but this is the reality for my family and it's a big part of why we don't host often. [/quote]
