[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought being able to host parties was part of the point of joining.

I think our pool has guest count restrictions on weekends just to control crowding but not on weekdays and I frequently see birthday parties and such and it never occurred to me to be bothered by it at all. [/quote]

OP and our country club is the place that encourages hosting parties, but that’s for formal rentals of specific spaces. It has very specific guest restrictions.

The pool has specific guest count restrictions, days, and fees, but they’re enforced only when the right manager is present. Otherwise it’s dictated by whichever 15 year old kid happens to be at the desk and if they have the guts to stand up to a group of 20 showing up on a restricted day.

I don’t think this is just about pool policy, though, because as I said it’s everywhere from kids’ soccer games to school.

My beef is that when those families just socialize with each other and it’s happening at multiple places, it makes it hard to find and build community. [/quote]

Find people who don't necessarily have that type of larger family and friends already and start making your own "community"[/quote]

I don’t want to be friends with these giant families. I just want to understand why it feels like they’re suddenly taking over all of the places I go![/quote]

Hmmmm. OP, are these people the same color as you? Because your vibe is just so weird.[/quote]

I had the same reaction reading OP post and wonder the same thing.[/quote]
