[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I read all the replies and appreciate them but genuinely don't feel I was out of line. When people can be so exclusive why not push for inclusivity? I did appreciate that the parent replied to my text. I wanted to be transparent about how it made my child feel so next time there might be a bit more self-reflection. I understand not every child is invited to each playdate,  but if the opportunity arises, why not extend the offer to one more kid instead of simply changing the subject? My child clearly wanted to play. The mom in question has a large home and could have accommodated the extra child and I would have been happy to reciprocate next time. It was just an awkward situation which could have been made kinder by inclusivity. [/quote]

I'm very inclusive and I recognize the fact that many people are not.  My kids need to have the skills to deal with the real world; it my job as a parent to ensure they have those skills.  Perhaps your parents did not ensure you had those skills and you are struggling to pass on life skills to your kid because you lack them.  [/quote]
