[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP are you asking if you can switch the venue to your house?  Or is the play date not yet set up?  [/quote]

Playdate is not yet set up.  Other parent just asked.[/quote]

Other parent asked; that is, invited. So the venue is their house. If that makes you uncomfortable, suggest public place, but you can't just move it to your house.[/quote]

That would be rude. If they JUST moved, you might say "thanks for the invitation. Larlo is excited! If it's easier for you we are more than happy to host. Otherwise, what day/time works for me to bring him over?" You can linger for a few minutes when you drop him off if that makes you more comfortable. [/quote]

When it comes to my kids, etiquette does not trump my comfort level ever. I think this is terrible advice. Don't drop your kid somewhere just because you feel it's rude not to. [/quote]

Right, but perhaps the other paren is feeling the same way--that they don't really know this family so they are not comfortable dropping off. So who wins? 
I would say do a park, but also, second grade is a good time to let go a little bit. Drop off, hang out for a few, and go from there,[/quote]
