i confess that i...
...shy away from groups like bunko, book club or other meetings that are held in people's homes because i get so anxious about when i finally cant put it off anymore and i have to offer to host. i dont want to have to clean my house or worry about how my house compares to others (i live in a well off area where most people are older than me and live in nice sfh. i am in a th - think worst house in the best neighborhood). i feel like they all have adult homes and i am still doing the mismatched ikea/thrift shop finds thing. i am also very insecure about my hostessing skills and i am paranoid that someone might smell the litterbox. the last group i belonged to there was a woman horribly allergic to cats in it and i blamed my not hosting on the fact that i have four cats and if i hosted she wouldnt be able to come.

I'm sorry you shy away from those events. I really don't like cleaning my house either. Although, when I do have company, it does motivate me to clean up the house, which then makes me feel better about where I live.
I haven't cleaned my house in a while before yesterday. The only reason I did clean up is b/c my BFF came up with her two boys and I wanted the house to at least smell good when she came over. And, I only cleaned the kitchen/living room/dining room area. Oh well. Someday I'll have a cleaning lady to do the rest for me......
i don't shy away from it, i down right just don't do it. I hate hostessing, I'm not good at it, I don't like doing it, and people are caddy.
It's hard enuf to get the dinner all cooked right and ready at the same time for me & H. I am so not domestic when it comes to that stuff. Cleaning, I'm fine, but not entertaining. the pressure is too much....so, I just don't bother. I've lucked out tho b/c my family friends all seem more than eager to host at their houses, so i'm rarely put on the spot. However, I always ask what I can bring.

My Bio
I don't blame you, MD. I haven't joined in much in a mom's group because I don't want to have to feel like I have to commit to having people over just because I have gone to others' homes.
I honestly don't mind hosting family events tho - in fact I WANT to host often but we don't for one reason or another.
