[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am shy by nature and avoid unpleasant conversations more than any other person I have ever met. Flame me all you want, but this is the best I can do: I always host the first playdate. When I invite the child over I always say to the parent, "And please don't worry, we have no guns in our house". If the parent doesn't chime in with "neither do we" type of rejoinder, my boys don't go over to their house - ever. Yes, I am certain some parents don't get my prompt or are distracted - but it is the best I can do. [/quote] Good luck with that when your boys get older...you know, actually the age when this becomes a potential issue. "I want to play at Mason's house!" "You can't. Four years ago, when he came over for a playdate, his mom did not respond appropriately to my passive-aggressive quiz."[/quote]
