[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don't get to decide the culture/atmosphere of my home. If the kids are fighting or annoying each other, I'd intervene, but a kid insisting to just play with her friend and not interact with the family doesn't belong in my home.[/quote]

+1 We had a guest who only wanted to hang with one twin. They are the same gender. Our children have different personalities and friends, but if they want to play with a friend of the other during a playdate they can. DH is big on siblings before friends so that guest was never invited back.

We won't allow someone my kids won't even know in a few years to interfere with their relationship.[/quote]

One playdate isn't going to change their relationship permanently. [/quote]

There will likely only be one before it's known how rude and unaccepting the friend was. You don't go into somebody's home and treat any of the family members as less than. That guarantees there won't be a 2nd play date.[/quote]
