[quote=Anonymous]I tend to fade off from pushy moms early on. I've had a few moms get really manipulative and pushy to set up playdates. When people respect my time and boundaries I'm all in, but for a princess mom who thinks basic decency does not apply to her I run. Even if our kids are close, they can be close at school. I have a sibling with a personality disorder who behaves just like the mom you described, but can be far worse in all different settings. this makes me particularly sensitive to people who are boundary stompers and I know it will only get worse.

If she kept pushing me for the girls night, I would have said "Sounds like you are eager to connect. My schedule is full and I will NOT be setting anything u. Here are some suggestions for you."

If she kept pushing for a playdate. "I am sorry that does not work for us. Things are very busy. I think it's best the kids just see eachother out and about in the neighborhood or when they run into eachother at the playground."
