I like to stay home. I plan my errands and go out and do them once per week. I don't like to be invited places, home is my comfort zone. I have girl friends that I talk to on the phone or by email, but rarely get together with them. I talk to my mom and my grandma every single day at least twice, but always by phone. I feel guilty a lot of the time because I don't actually see the people I probably should. It's not that I don't love them, I do. I just busy myself in my house with my family every day. I like when we are all together right here in our own little nest.

Does anyone else do this or feel this way?

I'm a little bit that way. My husband is also. I know we often prefer that friends visit us. We just naturally feel more comfy in our own space.

Yep. It's just too much hassle to get myself dressed, showered, made up, then ensure all are fed, dressed, diaper bag full, etc.

However, I've got to figure out how to get little diva into playgroup. I think she needs it now.

Where did my baby go

I enjoy being home and getting things done. I have been trying to schedule trips out to where I can do them all at one time instead of going out numerous times during the week, especially with the snow and having two young boys I would have to drag around with me. I am also trying to cut back on expenses and if I do not go out, I do not spend money, so I am TRYING to stay home. I decided today though that I need to get my kids into a playgroup for interaction...

I'm a homebody. I have to go out to work, but when it is my time off, there is no place like home.

I have become more and more of a hermit as I have gotten older! My mom is the ultimate homebody, so I naturally hate that I'm becoming just like her But the truth is I love being home, organizing stuff, puttering around, doing projects or reading, yakking on the phone to my mom (almost daily) and a couple good friends. I love being home... particularly when the kids are sleeping! Ahhhh a slice of heaven.

Most people I know are "pushers" - they are always pushing for me to come over, get together, go here or there... but I feel like I have things I WANT to do at home and don't always want to be running around everywhere. A few years ago, a mom made a very hurtful remark about me (behind my back) something to the effect that "Kelly's a homebody. She doesn't want to do all the things I do. I like to 'go go go'!" As if that makes her better than me, somehow? That was when I realized I don't like going and going and going. I have come to dread all the invitations we get for things... Bunco was pure torture for me (and I am pretty darn chatty... but those environs seem false and forced and contrived, so I don't really enjoy being there). Neighbors have invited me to their New Year's Eve parties, Passion Parties, Pampered Chef, things like that.


All I really want is ONE good friend who can come over for coffee and chit chat. No frills. No running around to "get together", no contrived circumstances. And it's hard to find that.

So, the answer is yes! I am that way more than I ever really acknowledged/realized.

btw I think my kids love being home too (as opposed to running around all the time...) They never ask for playdates (but enjoy them when we have them). My on-the-go friends have told me that their kids ask non-stop to have friends come over or to go do things etc... I was really surprised b/c my kids never ask for those things. They are more likely to ask to read a book with me or to have me "swing them around" or play "Pete's a Pizza" with them, write a story together, play on the computer, play video games or do an art project. It's never anything away from home. Maybe it's genetic!

just trying to get incite into the other side. I love being with people anywhere any place. Both dh and myself are like this. the kids appear to be also. when they were little they would yell "no home" as we got blocks away from home. they each did this around 2.

I am in like this in a way, and more so now that I have two kids and one on the way and going places is a hassle!

I guess I can concider myself a hermit lol.I prefer to stay home most days.I plan things and go out maybe 2 times a week.Just think of all the money you save when you stay home.I am not an anti-social person.I just prefer to be comfy in my own home and save money!
