[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it helps to go through your expectations ahead and tell her exactly what she will do: greet the guests, eat with the family. Then go watch a movie upstairs. My son is older but he does a ton of chores when we have people over (replenishing crackers, clearing the table, loading the dishwasher). It gives him a concrete task which we appreciate and it makes him happier than socializing. I don’t expect him to spend the whole time with the guests either—he cannot sit and chill with other people, it’s not possible for him. My experience is that hanging out with other families with ND kids was pretty stressful for all of us and way too chaotic—more fun just to get together with the moms.[/quote] All of this. A house of ND kids is not relaxed, replenishing socializing ime. [/quote]
