[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My K-er is rarely invited for play dates. I don't really care though because I'm insanely busy and we just don't have the time. Older DC is invited all the time but I never reciprocate and I explain each time that I'm asked that I just can't make it work. I've hosted play dates maybe 8 times in he last four years. Between work, after school activities, weekend activities, etc... I'm overwhelmed. We don't have sitters or nannies and my DH and I both work like dogs. Play date shmay date.[/quote]

You have a lot of "I" statements. [/quote]
"I" sure do because "I" need to preserve my sanity. "My" children have plenty of friends and they are very social but "I" am not willing to run myself ragged all for the sake of pretending that playdates will make a huge big difference in whether or not my children are happy and well adjusted. "I" don't measure my children's worth by the number of playdates or friends that they have.  "I've" overheard tons of idiot parents gloat about how popular their children are because they get invited on so many playdates. "I" think it is a vapid and stupid measure of your DC's childhood; especially when "I'd" much prefer to spend quality time at home with "my" family (when we get some very rare downtime).[/quote]
