[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don't have to explain your reasoning. Why does everyone here think the mom needs to write a verbal novel in explaining herself? Simply say you're "too busy" now. Full stop. Do not tell your child why you are ending the playdates because your child will tell the other child why, and then the mom will find out. It is not worth trying to fix other parents or their children. They have to learn the hard way that their parenting style and kids are a mess. We are in the middle of a huge parenting crisis in this country. Parents don't know, or refuse, to parent their own children. Just focus on your own kids. You can't save them.[/quote] I agree, just stop offering. Surely she has better manners than to invite herself to drop her child off if you don't offer. See her without kids, meet up at parks together or other places that aren't your house, but don't offer to "host" a playdate anymore. It doesn't need an explanation.[/quote]
