[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a SAHM and we host 10:1. We rarely get invited to people's homes but if I do the inviting, kids come over (mostly drop off). I would not care if child's parent were a SAHM, SAHD or working parents.[/quote]

Hi Anon - glad to hear you wouldn't discriminate.

[b]Wow! 10:1... what gives with this one-sided playdate phenomenon?[/quote][/b]

I am a parent that rarely hosts and I feel badly about it.  We have a large dog (a lab) that a lot of my DD's pre K kids are scared of (though the dog is very gentle).  We also have rambunctous toddler twins and it's very difficult to host a play date and manage the twins - as in, keeping the twins away from my older DD's activity from their friends.  My husband works weekends so it's often just me at home, unless I hire a babysitter and I can't afford that every time my DD wants to see a friend.

We explain this and try to make up for it by bringing snacks or toys to play dates.  I wish people wouldn't see it as freeloading - that is not at all my intentions.
