Oh my gosh, I so dislike having kids over! Even the playground is difficult for me. I thought I was just mean and weird. I love my kids and my nieces and nephews but that is it. I dislike kids so much that when I was pregnant(18 yrs old) I was told repeatedly to NOT keep my baby, I would not be a good mom. I did and it certainly is different with your own, but I raised them to be quiet and polite, something that is not done in most other homes. I feel really bad for my youngest son because I hate hosting play dates. The older two(21 and 20 yrs old now) had cousins around a lot but unfortunately Ben is so far behind in age that he is all alone. I'm certainly trying but failing miserably:(
So nice to hear I am not alone in this feeling.
