[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For all of my friends with very young children, my assumption when inviting them to lunch is that the very young child will also come.  So I would expect OP to bring her child if I invited her, even without saying "[b]oh and bring your baby".  [/b]

Apparently other people do not think this, which is fine.  Maybe this is a difference in upbringing (e.g., big family with kids always around) or something else.[/quote]

Baby and toddler are completely different things. Sure if your kid is contained in a baby seat bring them along. Once they can move and interrupt every 2 seconds, leave them home. Or don’t come. [/quote]

do you express your specific lunch requirements to your friends, when they violate them?[/quote]
Why would you bother after the fact? If you can’t respect a simple invitation you don’t seem to care very much for your friends time or friendship.[/quote]

it just seems like a very inflexible way to live life, to not grasp that people may have different norms and understandings.  I can't imagine it leads to a wealth of friendships.[/quote]
