Ugh. Don’t ask. I know it’s hard to think outside your bubble but adding an extra kid does make a big difference to some people. I have a baby in addition to my 5 year old.

Play dates with one other child are manageable, but add in two unknown children and it’s chaotic. I simply do not have a enough hands to manage it at this point. Plus it completely changes the dynamic. It’s much harder to keep 3 kids quiet during nap time. It’s harder to keep track of where they are. Everything is harder. Don’t ask. It’s rude.

Twin mom. I totally get this and I think this is legit and I appreciate the honesty. I do get it. It’s just a bummer - [b]parenting baby/toddler twins is SO incredibly difficult and isolating. [/b]And if I want to host a play date, I have to manage a minimum of three kids. It gets much easier as they all get older. As a twin parent, I would have been happy to stay to help or would have welcomed a meet up at a playground where the burden wasn’t all on you but where my kids weren’t just universally excluded.[/quote]

These kids are in K, so they are not babies or toddlers. My twins are in second grade now, so I've been through this. Sure it sucks if one is invited to a birthday party and the other isn't, but that's life. Then the uninvited one gets to do something else fun. And generally, she's invited to the next party and her sister isn't. And sometimes they're both invited. But they don't have to do everything together![/quote]
