This may seem pathetic but I feel really nervous at the thought of hosting events in my home. Apart from family, and having the kids' friends over for tea, I just don't feel confident about inviting friends over - I would love to host a dinner party but I just feel overwhelmed at the thought, that I am judged/will be a failure, maybe.
I think this feeling has been passed down from Mum, she was the same, and kept an extremely cluttered and messy home and consequently never invited anyone in.
This Christmas, I would dearly love to invite the neighbours round for mulled wine, and have school mums over for coffee. I hope I am not alone in this; how do people overcome this?
