[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is why I almost never initiate playdates. I have 3 and it's impossible to line up 3 simultaneous playdates so no one is left out. If one child has a friend over I will never hear the end of it about how bored one of the other kids is. Usually this is between my 2 youngest who play very well together on their own. It's not worth the hassle so we just don't initiate play dates very often or at all. They aren't bored since they have each other. [/quote]

Do you think they'll grow out of this? Or do you have a plan for how to ease them out of the codependency? This dynamic isn't very good for their development.

[b]This is about as sound as saying that only children aren't able to socialize, which is to say, it isn't.
Also, it sounds like OTHER people do initiate playdates[/b].[/quote]

This person will tell her child "no you can't play with your friends ever, because your younger siblings will annoy me." She's isolating her kids because she's too put out to parent any of them individually. How is that ok for her kids? [/quote]

I am the bolded PP. I don't get that from the above necessarily although I see your point.[/quote]
