[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you are a drama queen. No one asked you to feed the child or take her to the pool and you don't need to feel bad about not doing either. Just own it. First you say the problem is that swimsuits wont fit and then later you say you just dont want to pay for the friend. And then you add that you dont want the bother of watching another kid. You dont need to justify your decision and that you need to do so in this overwrought way shows that you may be making assumptions about the expectations or judgments from the friend's parent. Letting a kid knock on a door to see if a friend can play is something I and many other parents encourage in my neighborhood. It doesn't mean any of us are trying to thrust our child on other parents. If it were me, I would think nothing of it for my child to be sent home because the family was having lunch or already had other plans. And when kids come over tonour place, sometimes I feed them during mealtimes and other times I send them home. This is all no big deal.[/quote]

You can’t read. In the original post, OP says:
“I frankly don’t want to use a pool pass on her and my daughter’s suits won’t fit her, so is it rude to send her home after an hour or so of lunch and playing so we can go to the pool as planned.”

OP isn’t changing the story—she said up front she doesn’t want to use a pool pass AND the suit won’t fit the kid. You are wrong when you say “first you say…and later you say.” If you had correctly read the original post, you wouldn’t falsely accuse OP of changing the story.[/quote]
