[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]WTF? Is this for real? Your kids are offended by their aunt's personality and you want to talk to her about changing her innate trait?

How about you talk to your kids about what's appropriate and teach them to accept people as they are?[/quote]

Our kids are 5 and 6. Her kids are a little older. They do come to OUR house. But our kids are never invited. We can meet at the park but she sets very specific time frame: like 2 hours and not a minute more. Even if they are having fun. [/quote]

Does it bother *you* that the play dates are at your house and timed, or does it bother your kids? If the former, let it go. If the latter, teach your kids to let it go. Maybe plan the playtime right before lunch or dinner out somewhere, so they’ll have that to look forward to at the end of the play date.[/quote]

Both scenarios bother our children. They are timed, rigidly timed, they are either either at OUR house or in the park, and never in their house. Our kids started asking "why can't we ever go to their house?" She never extends an invitation. I don't know...maybe reciprocity is not a thing anymore.[/quote]

You seem judgmental - maybe she just doesn't want to invite YOU to her house to judge it.   I'm an introvert and invite very few people to my house. Teach your kids to be more open-minded.  Just say "Aunt Sally doesn't like hosting, so we meet at the park. The important thing is we get together!" [/quote]
