[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]

To quote Bethenny Frankel, "When everyone says you're dead, it's time to lie down."  Everyone here is saying you're wrong. Accept it. That other mom's house is not a clown car where she can have as many people over as physically fit in the home. It's how many little girls she can manage at once. Full stop. You better spend the weekend doing some deep self-reflection before everyone excludes your daughter simply because they don't want to have to deal with YOU. [/quote]
