Where to start, oh yes, I’m a terrible host.
*awkward silence*
I just happened to think while I was on the toilet – yes, I do some of my blog thinking on the toilet, sheesh. As I was saying, while on the toilet I started thinking that not many of my family or friends suggest for me to host anything at my place. I want to think is because they don’t want to create a burden on me, but I can’t help but wonder… would I be a terrible host?
I can count with my hands how many times I have hosted something at my place and the ridiculous and embarrassing number is 5.
- My birthday, 2008. We had mixed people on the patio and it was awkwardly okay.
- October, 2010. My own baby shower. We didn’t know better, so my house was the territory to gather a big amount of
gallinaswomen. - New Years, 2011. With a new baby, some friends thought it would be good to keep the baby in a known environment.
- My Birthday, 2011. Family usually hosts my party, but not for that year. They still gave me cards and gifts but I felt guilty, so I proposed to host a BBQ small gathering.
- Baby M, 1st BDay, 2011. Since she was still small and her little friends too, I could still get away to host something at my place, so there my first official mom event.
I’m not sure if people are not happy at my gatherings. I want to think it’s because of the stupid real estate issue in Vancouver that led me to live by the city to the expense of space – there’s not enough for that many. So, the option is to host somewhere else.
Do you like hosting parties? Do you think you are a good host?
