[quote=Anonymous]If you are doing meet-ups and the other parent is expected to stay, you should expect all the kids in that family. This is especially true if you live in an area where there are lots of no-car/1 car families or when the 7yr old is the oldest.

If you host drop-off play dates you will mostly get just one kid. My boys are close in age and have several friends who are in the grade level between them. Our assumption is that invites are for 1 child unless specified, but my child is expected to play kindly with all ages of children at the host’s home. Some homes want all kids to play together and others allow the host and guest some privacy to play a game or do a craft without younger siblings intervening. If my child was a guest and I found out he was whining about having to include a younger sibling or that my child was instigating unkind words or behaviors towards siblings, I would be upset. I am willing to split / distract siblings at my own home, but I expect my kids to follow the rules and expectations of the host’s home. [/quote]
