[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don't get to decide the culture/atmosphere of my home. If the kids are fighting or annoying each other, I'd intervene, but a kid insisting to just play with her friend and not interact with the family doesn't belong in my home.[/quote]

+1 We had a guest who only wanted to hang with one twin. They are the same gender. Our children have different personalities and friends, but if they want to play with a friend of the other during a playdate they can. DH is big on siblings before friends so that guest was never invited back.

We won't allow someone my kids won't even know in a few years to interfere with their relationship.[/quote]

As a mom of tween twins, this is weird. Even though we are big on the sibling bond, they are different
 It's okay if another child wants to play only with one twin, we help the other twin find something else to do. Of course we expect the kid to be polite to both twins but not that the playdate is for both.

This child was not polite and I will not allow my child to feel uncomfortable in their own home.

I'll tell you what I tell my kids. Different houses have different rules. It's easy for them to comprehend so I'm guessing you'll understand too.

Glad you are able to find something else for your child. Not happening here and don't care who thinks it's weird.[/quote]

Sorry you’ve made your kids codependent. That’s a parenting fail on your part. Shrug.[/quote]
