I wouldn't say I'm a keen host, more of a take my turn to get it out of the way host. I have a friend who just never seems to offer. Any mention of a play date (could be her mentioning it) and she jumps straight in with an 'I don't mind coming to you' even though I haven't offered. I find this behaviour a little odd, as I would sooner volunteer my own house before volunteering someone else's. To add to this she's started suggesting other people I should invite round to mine to for the play dates. This has been going on for about a year now, probably once or twice a month. I have been to her house, it's lovely, and her OH seems nice, but that was nearly a year ago.
I'm getting a bit fed up of it. I don't think I'm fussy, I have young children, so theres always a bit of mess, but the house is always a real state at the end, so I end up with the tidying. Is her behaviour a bit strange? are there many people out there who shirk hosting duties? I'm starting to think I'll just make up excuses not to see them soon. AIBU or is she?
