[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are terrible about inviting DD's friends to play. We both work full time out of the house. That means weekends are spent running errands and doing chores. And some family time. I battled with depression for the first 7 years of DD's life (still probably battling, but it's improved some). I'm an off-the-chart introvert. We also did very little child-proofing of our home, as DD doesn't have a problem following rules and not playing with the crystal, throwing balls inside, jumping on the sofa, etc. Our tile floor has huge chips in it from the visitor who dropped handweights on it. Never occurred to me to hide the handweights! We also have dogs who are rather intimidating to strangers. And some of DD's friends are either allergic to dogs or terrified (to the point of crying hysterically) of them. Those are all contributing factors to our not hosting as often as we should.

So... we really do intend on doing a better job of reciprocating, but it doesn't always happen.[/quote]

Change "dogs" to "cats" and "7yoDD" to "6yoDD" and you pretty much have described our lifestyle to a "t"!!  [/quote]
