[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This makes me think of something in my own life that answers your question.

Long time friend of my husband comes to my home with her family.  I think nothing of it.  We host.  I have met this woman many times but had never been to her home.  She is great.  We then are invited to her home (she has two kids and a DH).  OMG!!!!!!!  She is rich and her house was amazing and perfectly decorated and she had hired help to cater and serve for a very casual party.  I was sincerely mortified that I had her to my house and never invited her over again.  It was eye opening.  We are in different leagues and no I'm not serving you my baked French toast from my semi-old dishware ever again.

So no, I wouldn't reciprocate.[/quote]

I've had this happen to.  We went to their house first.  As soon as I walked in to their immaculate home I thought "welp, we can't be friends, that's too bad".  Even attempting to entertain them would seem so super low-brow I can't fathom it.  Like I'd be a college kid pretending my beat up apt was fine for a dinner party.   I may do it once, just because I'm hoping to get to a place where I don't give a sh*t, but I'm not there yet.[/quote]

New poster here, and this makes me sad.  As long as your house is clean, I don't care how small it is or how old your dishware is.  I spend when needed in order to buy quality, so that we don't have to replace things very often.  [/quote]
