Totally agree PP . I think I've seen almost the opposite PP to PP... It's more the discussion of parents who assert that their daughters or sons aren't "the mean girls or boys " and then only set up playdates with kids they perceive as or have decided are"nice". Okay. Not only is this reverse labeling and kind of locking their own kid into an expectation of always being 'nice' (a lot of pressure if you ask me) , but typically, the kids who've made the grade as "nice" are the children of their very own parent's friends.

I don't really have any close friends at my child's school, just friendly acquaintances.  However, I will definitely only allow my child to have play dates with kids I think are nice - whether or not I am friendly to their moms.  To me, that means kids who respect the rules of our house and don't talk back to me or argue when they are here.  If a kid does that, I'm not having them back over, no matter who their mom or dad is.  There are enough kids that my son gets along with that I don't have to tolerate that nonsense.[/quote]

I get that, but I also wonder why you are scared of kids to kindly but firmly set boundaries in your house and rather prefer to avoid them? What does that teach your son about assertiveness I wonder.[/quote]
