[quote=Anonymous]We host a lot. I actually love hosting and people are always accepting invitations, so presumably they like coming over. We have a big house with a pool and fire pit and secluded back yard and we love to share it. None of our things is too precious that we have to worry about someone spilling.

The ironic thing is - I'm introverted and shy. My husband and two of my kids are very social. When we host, (a) it gives dh and the extrovert kids people to "play" with; (b) it makes conversation easy because I am never just standing around wondering what to do or say - if I'm not engaged in a conversation, I can just go refill the ice or something; and (c) it is on our terms. I also just enjoy seeing my friends and I think it's important for my kids to learn how to host and engage in mixed age groups. Sometimes we host kid-free events and I think that's OK for them too - past generations did that all the time, and it was exciting as a kid to get a glimpse into "adult" life.
