I can't host here, either.
The hell of it is, my parents probably would be OK with it, but I feel so pathetic about asking- having to ask- my parents if I can have people over, I just can't do it.
I've never so much as had my friends from work over while I've lived here, for that very reason.
Nothing makes me feel quite so pathetic as being observed, in real time, living with my parents.
