[quote=Anonymous]PPs are right that you just need to invite more and accept it won't always work out and lower the stakes of any one particular play date. Having said that, I've had several playdate experiences like what you describe. And you are so right that it's hard as an adult because you feel like you are putting yourself and your family out there when you reach out to a new family and when they reject, it's rough. It hits you in the gut. But I just want to tell you that it's awesome you took a chance and invited this kid even though his mom was intimidating and it was hard. Even though it didn't work out. You are showing him to be brave, to put himself out there. And it's a numbers game. The more you, and he, do it, the more connections you'll make. It will get better. Treat it as a learning experiences and move onward.[/quote]
