[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 540292, member: 3493"] My daughter would never entertain at home. I knew her elementary school friends and many of her middle school friends but not all of the ones she added in HS. Her reasons were that her brothers were annoying and some of her friends were allergic to and/or afraid of our dogs. I never took it personally, but since you are, maybe you might want to take jumper out for a meal - just the 2 of you - and ask her why she doesn't want to entertain at home. Her answer might surprise you but in any event it would be good to know. When H asked daughter (because he did feel like you do, I'm more introverted and was happier not having kids over), she said that she just liked seeing how other families do things and having a break from being at home. it was part of her separation process; now that she's in college, her friends are always over when she's home. Since you do want Jumper to entertain at home, maybe plan a specific event with her - birthday party, mid-summer party or the like where there's a theme and she can show off her fire pit (which sounds awesomely cool, can't have anything like that in poo poo ville where I live).
