[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My dd is often responsible for stuff like this. She invites kids over, then the moms text me and ask if it's okay if Larla comes over.

I think the other parent words it weird like she's inviting her kid to my house, but in reality, she's just checking that my dd really did invite her kid.[/quote]

This is definitely a possibility. The trampoline text in particular is exactly how it would read if my DD (9-10) and her friend cooked up plans and the friend was pestering her mom about when she could come over to our house.

I wouldn't assume any ill intent about trying to dump her kid on you. Probably more like she's not available or comfortable hosting but her daughter is coming to her with these plans....[/quote]

I agree with this. Her kid is telling her that she got invited or they want to do something at the other girls house. Who knows the reason but she can't or won't host at her house but is still trying to set up things for her kid.

I personally wouldn't care if we were available and if we weren't I would just tell her no not this time. I don't feel the need for playdates to be reciprocal.[/quote]
