[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP: You asked so here’s my answer. My kid who is a 5 yo twin needs to “learn how to separate “ in order to play with your kid who needs “just the right dynamic “ in a play date. You don’t care about my other twins feelings in the slightest because “you and your DC didn’t invite and don’t like the other twin” and your DC can’t adjust but mine can. Furthermore it’s rude for me to even    think about my other twins feelings because you and your kids feelings come first and foremost. And you wonder why I think you are intolerant and perhaps your kid a bit of a brat? [/quote]

Despite your failure to use the quote function, I assume you are replying to my question (which I reproduced below).  If you or anyone else reads it, you'll see the PP (who was not me - I'm a mom of G/B twins) said nothing even remotely like what you suggested, much less quoted.  You fabricated a scenario to justify calling another poster's kid a brat.  I'm not sure why you're so invested in defending a nasty (and unwarranted) attack on a child, but the other PP s right - it isn't a good look.

                You keep doubling down on this, but the point remains, this is no different than any other parent requiring a sibling to tag along on every play date. Sure, I can make it work if I’m doing you a favor, but do I want every play date to be about YOU on your terms? Probably not. Sometimes there are family dynamics that are important for the host family too—did you ever think about that? Someone gave the example of a parent who has a baby in addition to the elementary school kid. I’ll give another. I have two kids and I tell each one they can invite one friend over. This works well for my family. If one kid gets 2 friends then my other kid wants 2 friends too and that’s way too many kids to supervise easily. Then the fun and enjoyable play date becomes work and exhausting.

The end result is both your kids will receive fewer invitations.

Yes I have met moms like you. Don’t want you. Don’t need you. Did anyone let you know your kid is a brat? Now might be a good time.

Not the pp but, lashing out a stranger's kid isn't a good look.

Not lashing out just replying in kind. You telling me how to raise my kids. Im telling you you don’t seem very nice. I don’t think your attitude is a good look.

NP - I've reread the previous post a couple of times, and can't find where the PP is "telling you how to raise your kids" - she's telling you how she sees and reacts to situations. Can you point it out?

And regardless, even if she did what you suggested, an attack on someone's kid is not "replying in kind." [/quote][/quote]
