[quote=Anonymous]How do you feel about involving siblings in play dates? I have an older son (3) and a younger daughter (almost 2). My son was invited to a play date the other day and I let the mom know that I would have to bring my daughter because my husband had something planned. The entire time the other boy yelled at my daughter saying "No! You can't play with us!" and even sang at one point "ha ha, you're left out". I kept her busy and asked them at times to give her a toy (the boy hoarded them all) just so she wouldn't be totally bored. My son brought her a toy a few times but the other kid was really upset about it. I get that this is a bit of an extreme example - that kid just sort of sucked -- but what level of inclusion should I enforce (is that even the right word?) when one sibling has a play date and the other doesn't? The answer probably changes depending on whether I'm hosting, I suppose. I would welcome any thoughts on how you all have handled this. [/quote]
