[quote=Anonymous]I already posted in this thread but there's one thing I don't think has been mentioned. Assuming for the sake of argument OP is not a troll and that she is still reading replies AND that this really happened today... OP should tell her child not to mention the incident to her "best friend" or the other kids who went to the playdate, ESPECIALLY if OP commiserated with her. Otherwise,if she's young, it's possible she'' ll do something like tell her "best friend" that she shouldn't play with the inviter child because "she and her mommy are mean --my mommy said so." Or the inviter child is "mean" and "even when my mommy told her mommy that I cried because I wasn't invited to the playdate, her mommy didn't even apologize!" I can't predict exactly what the child might say, but if mommy made it seem as if the other child and/or her mother wronged her, it's at least possible, if not probable, she'll say so. And, believe me, that will make things even worse. [/quote]
