How often do you have friends over your house?

[meltoine]

At least once a week we have somebody over for a play date.

[cinco]

Every couple weeks in the Summer. Maybe once or twice from Fall-Spring.

[annieh22]

Once a month, give or take. More often in the summer since we can be outside. Less in the winter because I just want to hibernate. Ha!

I like doing it and always feel like I should more often because it is motivation to clean my house. But I'm lazy.

Probably 3 days a week on average. I had two ladies over last night for drinks and kid dinner, we are having a friend over for dinner tonight, and typically on Friday, if we are in town, I invite a couple of families to come over before or after dinner for our kids to play, while we visit.

This thread is confirming that I must actually be an introvert.

[pinkdutchtulips]

I have an 800 sf apartment ... I don't do a lot of entertaining

[pippa]

We had friends over for DS's birthday and a friend hadn't seen our new kitchen...which we did in May 2014. So, rarely.

We've started to have a few more dinners/playdates though with awesome friends like leonard131.

[redpenmama]

Lately, not very often. We are getting ready to move, so the last thing on my mind is entertaining.

That said, we are generally the ones who entertain among our social circle and enjoy doing it. Our new house will be larger and more open (and thus conducive to entertaining), so I would hope to have people over regularly (say a couple of times a month) once we're settled.

[scribellesam]

Once or twice a month. Basically anytime we need motivation to clean the house.

[drloretta]

Almost never. H I incredibly shy, and our house is configured to be anti-parties, LOL

[carfar]

One person at least weekly... I also host my moms group every couple months and my dinner club once every few weeks... I also host monthly Friday night meatball night... Have brunch with friends everybody's in a while... I like having people over.

[SallySparrow]

Very rarely. I'd much rather meet people out somewhere, but I'm an introvert. I like being able to escape if needed.

We had people over for A's birthday last year. I had a friend over for dinner a few months ago. FIL stops in a few times a year. lol

[glitzy07]

Maybe once or twice a month. During the fall/winter, H has buddies over to watch sports in the garage with him frequently.

[cobber06]

Usually once a month- it is always super casual, usually just a few drinks.

Although I prefer to go to their house because they don't have kids and their house is much cleaner and actually decorated.

[Velar Fricative]

1-2x a month on average. I like having people over. But I don't need (nor have) the bigass kitchen that everyone on House Hunters says they MUST have for entertaining or else they will just die.

Hell, we entertained enough in our previous 750 sq. ft. apartment even after DD came along.

[laurenh]

My parents are here a few times a month but that's really it. We don't have many friends in the area and our closest friends have an autistic son that does much better in his environment, so we just go there instead.

I did host Christmas at my house last year for H's family and my parents but by host I mean sat here and watched everyone else do things because I was mega pregnant and had 2 babies 3 days later

[h]

We have adults to whom we are not related over maybe once a month on average (like hosting a dinner party or having another family over to hang out). Family members and my kids' peers are over more often.

[greencrayon]

I'm having a house party tomorrow lol.

Didn't you just move?!  

So, you're new in town and solo parenting, and you're managing to throw a party.  I'm a failure.  


It really varies.  Sometimes, we'll have a flurry of activity, and other times, we'll go months without hosting anyone for anything (save for family visits).

So basically greencrayon is holly116.  Manage to accomplish way more then any mere mortal can.  

[Blue Moon]

Once or twice a year for adults socializing without kids. My friend and her daughter come over all the time for play dates in the summer when we are both home though.

[brooklyn]

Being in a one bedroom means I never have to entertain in my house. I do regularly host playroom or playground dates.

I hope to be a little more social in our new apt, where Jack and I will each have our own bedrooms so hopefully our messes are contained better.

[greencrayon]

Update- amazing. Lol. I felt like a freshman again. Haha.
