To top it off this was when they came to visit me last year right after my laparotomy. Really? My house isn't childproof? Why the heck would it be?!<br /><br />I just don't really have people over because it seems they all have kids and I really don't want to put all my stuff away for them.kmab231https://www.blogger.com/profile/08262710968955480067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4035913905233652003.post-60631074236931191042012-06-26T23:32:57.345-04:002012-06-26T23:32:57.345-04:00I can't believe they wouldn't say somethin...I can't believe they wouldn't say something like ... "Is it OK if we bring our daughter?" Surely in the conversation between your DH and the other guy, it would have come up about the whole "who has kids" thing ... and maybe they would have asked if it was an adult get-together or not. I would ask about what type of meal/evening was planned to plan appropriately ... whether I had children or not. <br />I'm sure there won't be another dinner together for awhile. I'd be with you on that! I hate it that it didn't work out better.

Then that led to my other friend bringing their slightly older 3 kids. The entire time was spent moving/getting rid of things they shouldn't touch or were afraid of... Including the candles I had bought specifically for the party and MY DOGS!! I was beyond ticked off. If I went to their child's birthday party I would expect things to be a certain way and I wouldn't take out my alcohol and sharp objects to make myself more comfortable! (and, yes, I always travel with those things, you never know when you might need them.)Amy @ This Cross I Embracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04766112822487858490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4035913905233652003.post-6744369185836934792012-06-23T22:29:19.061-04:002012-06-23T22:29:19.061-04:00I hear you!

It is especially hard with new people because it's difficult to start building a relationship under such interrupted circumstances, especially if you are shy or introverted. I also just dislike hanging out with any of my old friends when their kids are around due to the attention span issue. I like the way you compared it to texting someone else, that was perfect!Panamahathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10248512242594265755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4035913905233652003.post-47522947384167658032012-06-23T22:00:43.927-04:002012-06-23T22:00:43.927-04:00Oh I totally understand!! quite a few people we d...Oh I totally understand!! quite a few people we don't hang out with or get to know, because of it.Lucky as Sunshinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02303329791458313858noreply@blogger.com
