[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid would love playdate, but he is also fine without playdate. My home is small and messy, and I cannot hold becauae I have younger child at home. There are some parents have reached out to me saying that there's do playdate sonetimes because their kids like my kid. I always say yes and sure. But often, things were dropped there and I don't understand why. They say their kids want to do playdate, but most do not offer a date/time/location. I don't folliw up because I know that I can't offer at my house, so I wait for them to ask them. It has happened a few times, abd I wonder why. Do pople just ask for playdate sometimes out of blue bug do not really mean it? They have invited my kud to their bday party in group, and so do we.

This is silly.  Offer to meet at a playground, or take the kids to an arcade or the bowling alley.  You don’t have to host in your home to take some initiative.  [/quote]

Reciprocating can be in all forms. My son has one friend who never hosts but always offers to drive my kid to sports and birthdays. If I am ever in a pinch and can’t pick up, she always offers. I sincerely appreciate that.

My oldest has a group of friends and we all take turns hosting. It works best this way. One of the kids has divorced parents and both divorced parents host.

If a kid never reciprocates, unless he is my child’s best friend, I will move on. They can be school friends.

My child had a friend whose parents were always flaky with plans we had, were always late and often would not respond at all. They divorced. I still continues to reach out even if they never reciprocated. I knew they had a lot going on. The mom used to say my son was his son’s favorite best friend. Our kids now go to different schools and we don’t talk to them. [/quote]
