[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, make sure you still consider it "reciprocated" if a couple invites you out to dinner at a restaurant, or some other activity other than coming to their home.

But I'm sorry. I know the frustration.[/quote]

I agree. I have a big fancy house with a pool. I consider any invite to be reciprocating - does not have to be equivalent . . . Could be getting sandwiches & walking to park. [/quote]

I agree.  We have a small apartment but we often invite others over for parties, dinner, afternoon coffee, play dates, etc.  I don't expect an invitation in kind, but something--asking us to go out to dinner, suggesting a meeting at the park, whatever.  I just don't like being the only family that initiates stuff--I would appreciate it if other people made the plans and reached out to us sometimes.  [/quote]

I completely agree.  Hosting can take many forms, it does not have to be a formal, sit down dinner.  I host several parties a year and also have smaller groups over for dinners, play dates, etc.  I don't expect my friends to reciprocate in exactly the same way but it would be nice if they asked us to do something, whatever they might be comfortable doing.  It seems really inconsiderate to always let someone else do all the work of hosting. [/quote]
