[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve been watching this thread with interest and a little bit of horror. I’m an introvert and homebody so the thought of my house being any sort of “hang out” for a bunch of kids is... unappealing. However, I have super extroverted kids who love big parties and being surrounded by lots of friends. They are still youngish but I can see them instigating this in a few years.

I guess some of my fears have been mollified. I’m fairly laid back so a lot of what has been described would be ok with me. Not drinking and being disrespectful of my home, but a bunch of kids just relaxing, goofing off and laughing, probably ok.  And assuming the same cohort of friends they now have in elementary are the same friends they have in high school, I can probably be happy to have them around. [/quote]

I am a PP above who had the hangout house growing up. My mom is definitely an introvert, but I think she was ok with having so many kids in the house because (1) she wasn't actually hanging out with us and (2) my friends were genuinely nice people who were well-behaved, as it sounds like your kid's friends are.
