My love/hate relationship with....

Home Parties...you know what I mean...the ones that us suburban moms have for other suburban moms and their home-based businesses. I really love these parties in fact I've been known to throw one or two or five in the past few years. And, I was one of those suburban moms who owned a home based business so I LOVED those ladies who threw parties. However...I have a love/hate relationship with them. While I love the parties..the food..the products..the catalogs..the fun times with friends I hate the guilt that comes with feeling like I have to buy something. I know..I should get over it..the point of the party is to get together with friends and to see the product. No one wants anyone to feel like they have to buy something but it's almost an unspoken rule...if you go..you will buy, right? Paul doesn't get this at all. He says if there's nothing you want or need don't buy it. Right. That works...He doesn't get how they suck you in..how they show you these fantastic products that you just. have. to. have. right. now. And even though you want to be strong you always spend more than you intend. The products are just so fabulous...
