[quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't look for reasons to be annoyed, OP. If you need a break from these gatherings, tell your daughter no.

I have 3 kids, same gender, and those kids keep me running. I've been horrible about reciprocating play dates and then hang outs through the years. I'm often unavailable for last minute plans (which with teens is when 99% of the ideas occur) or chaperoning, and on the off chance we're all free I'm excited to be together and the last thing I'm thinking about is fitting in a playdate/hang out. Once our oldest was driving we ended up being the sleepover house, which was great. We're not inhospitable, we're just not planners in this way and our 3 same gender kids enjoy each other's company most of the time.

Assuming your daughter isn't a bad guest, I'd just assume they run their families differently. I have a friend who ALWAYS has kids who aren't hers with her, even takes them on vacation. She finds it easier to keep her children entertained with peers. Different strokes for different folks. [/quote]
