I stay away from them too.

It is so bugging isnt it. Not just that, at smaller get-togethers, say with only 3-4 families, if traditional ones, women will automatically cram up in the kitchen, lending the hostess a hand. God forbid, if you are a non-cooking soul like them. Or - if you want to have a drink with "the men".<br/><br/>And, why was I not invited to that roof-top party grrrr heh heh heh.
