Have a DD2.5 yo and DD 8wo and since DD2 was born DD1 is home a lot more (2 days at nursery instead of 4) she has a few friends at nursery and is very sociable and I know she would love to have some friends over - it wasn't practical before as their days off from nursery didn't coincide. The trouble is that i am shy and socially awkward and although I chat to some of the mums at pick-up/drop - off I am struggling to make the leap to ask about a playdate. Additionally I am worried they will judge my house which is pretty messy and whilst not a complete hovel is the kind of house where we panic-clean/tidy for a few hours before a visitor just to be able to say 'oh sorry the place is such a mess' and now I don't even have that kind of time really. Anyone else feel the same way? I have visions of people sitting there thinking my house is so disgusting I just need to pull on my big girl pants and do it anyway right?
