[quote=Anonymous]I think people are generally busy and depending upon the person, do not want to open their homes to company. which I find crazy, especially when many have these huge homes that are perfect for entertaining (I can only wish). I came from a family that always had a coffee cake in the closet, just in case company dropped by. I do think the fewer/deeper friendships are the way to go. I am in the boat where I have 3 kids and I really try to form relationships with many parent groups. I have scheduled get togethers with many, but honestly after a while it's too much with sports/games on weekends and sometimes I just want to spend time with my own nuclear family. If someone is really stand out, or I get to know them better and really like them, I'll be willing to go the extra mile to host and all the rest. When you know someone well enough, hosting does not seem like hosting but hanging out bc it's more relaxed. [/quote]
