I can't take credit for this tip. It comes from Gary Wagner, the friend from whom I stole the Lazy but Effective premise.
When inviting friends for dinner, be sure to invite at least one family children who are older than yours. Free babysitting is implied by the inclusion of the kids in the invite. Send them all down to the basement and ask the older kids to "keep an eye on" the younger ones. Your kids will have a blast because - let's face it - big kids are cool and fun to play with, and you can enjoy a peaceful dinner with adults. By the time the older kids are annoyed enough to start complaining, dessert will have been served and it's time for them to head home...so you're in the clear!
