House Parties to avoid the 4 way match problem

I hear ya!

I'm sooooooo glad we're beyond that. Our youngest is 25 and in the Navy, but we remember those days all too well. It seemed that the door had hardly closed, and we were almost running down the hallway, leaving a trail of clothes behind us...

We went to our first house party last weekend and had discussed this issue in the car on the way there. We concluded that we were open to the idea of playing seperately, as long as neither of us was left alone.

As it turned out, it was a moot point. The play space was a big open area with several mattresses and chairs. Everybody was playing with each other, and it was a very fluid kind of scene. It turned out we each played with nearly all of the guests at one point or another, sometimes together, but usually seperate. But since we were in the same room, it didn't seem like we were seperate.
Our best lifestyle experience to date!

Wow! What a great first house party experience! I'm so glad to hear that you had a good time. You do need to know, however, that not all house parties turn out that way. We, for instance, don't have the room for an arrangement like that. I sure wish we did, though - that sounds like an absolute blast. In a lot of cases a party held in a smaller home will require people to move things into a bedroom. In that case, the concerns you had before your first party will be valid. I'd keep discussing it - just in case.

It is what we like about house parties.. to mix and match..... Our rule is under that roof we are good... we might not be in the same room....
