[quote=Anonymous]I'm a mom with a 5 and 8 year old.  I try to schedule a lot of playdates for them.  I will send a group text or email to their friends' moms trying to schedule a fun meetup (usually at my house) and I even mention that siblings are welcome, and most of the time, not a single mom will respond.  How can people just ignore a nice invitation to meet up?  I just find it incredibly rude.  If someone ever invited us to a playdate, especially at their home, I would be thrilled and would respond yes right away.  But these other moms can't even be polite enough to send a text/email saying, "sorry that doesn't work for us but thanks for the invite."  How hard it that to do?

Does anyone else get this kind of treatment from other moms or is it just me?  I am starting to feel rejected all the time when I'm just trying to help my kids make friends.  No one ever invites us to anything.  In the last two years my kids have only been invited to one actual playdate.  We host a lot because I want my kids to make friends.[/quote]
