[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Am I the weird one? When this type of thing happens, I’m the one who first suggests to DH we should invite the friend over for dinner and to stay the night, enthusiastically problem-solves dinner and kid arrangements, adds nice finishing touches to our (always clean) home. I don’t do all the work but I plan it out. And I work a demanding full-time job too. Maybe this is why DH loves me :-)[/quote]

I'm sure most people would but is it fair to you?  Would he do all that work for your friend?  I doubt it[/quote]

DP. I think the real problem is that many of you seem to be married to men who you think don’t do anything for you in return. It doesn’t have to be one for one on something like hosting.[/quote]

+100. Lots of resentment here among the “don’t even lift a finger/why can’t DH do everything” crowd.

I am PP and in my case DH does a *ton* for the family in day-to-day life so I am more than happy to take on the cooking and logistics to host someone. Those are my strengths and he will pitch in where I ask but if he absolutely can’t get out of work early, I don’t mind covering to wrap up the last-minute things.

I don’t think I could be happily married to someone who was so tit-for-tat like some of these posters! Or someone who would model to their children that hospitality should take a back seat to sports practice. [/quote]
