[quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm guessing that among your family and friends there is also variation in people's attitudes.  I have found that some people get really inflexible when they have kids, probably due to a combination of their personalities, their kids' personalities, their level of self-centeredness pre-kids, their notions of fairness, etc.  Take a careful look at these people in your life and figure out who is really unwilling and who you just haven't asked yet.

I have some friends/family who will just not make the effort decamp anywhere with their kids under any circumstances. If I want to/must see them, I go to them.  I also have two total rockstar friends who are more flexible people.  We usually go to their houses, and almost alway do so if we want to get together in the evening so that they can put the kids in their own beds.  But, they also make the effort to meet us in our neighborhood and come to our house on occasion.  Most importantly, they are nice about aknowledging the inequality and tell us that they appreciate that we accomodate them.  What bothers me more than actually accomodating parents is when parents think of this inequality as a right they can casually assume rather than a favor that I am doing them to make their lives easier.
