[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We do host playdates with a few families whose company I enjoy and whose kids play well with my kids. [b] If I don't want them to come over to my house, I suggest meeting up at the playground or at a jumping place or gym etc. [/b] It signals that I'm interested in having our kids play together but don't have the time to clean up my house or if DH is doing a home improvement project. I personally find playdates appealing because it gives my kids social interaction that they enjoy and gives me some much needed adult conversation. [/quote] I understand that pets, small houses, messy houses, etc may mean you don't want people over--but this PP hits the nail on the head. Do a playdate somewhere other than your house. Offer to take the kids somewhere fun (doesn't have to be costly). There are ways to host that don't require having people in your home.[/quote]
