[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We did them a lot in our 20s before kids. We had a lot of free time to cook and it was an easy way to relieve burden on the host. Now in my mid-30s with young kids - I would NEVER ask a guest to bring something. Coming to my home is supposed to be relaxing - kids entertain each other for a few hours without heavy parent involvement, delicious food magically appears. Occasionally I cook something simple while DH handles the kids. More often than not, I order in. Once my kids are older I will probably go back to cooking for my parties. But I probably won’t go back to potluck-style.[/quote] Another thing about mid-30s with kids - our friends don't all live close anymore, and I don't want someone driving 45 minutes to 1.5 hours from a suburb on the opposite end of the DMV to also worry about bringing food. Showing up is enough of an effort![/quote]
