I don't know that I 100% agree with this but I see your point. We definitely tend to get more playdate invites to our friends who have only children (or children whose siblings are way older or younger) than we do from families with multiple kids. I live on a street with a lot of similar aged kids and my kids are only two years apart so they always have playmates around. So its not that I don't like having playdates, I just don't need them for entertainment and socialization. If my kids have specifically asked to have a child over, I'm happy to do it and 9 times out of 10, they go outside and the whole block is playing together.

For those with 2+ kids who get along, being invited to a playdate without the sibling actually makes things more difficult as their built-in playmate is gone. Most of our close friends always invite both boys but I would not expect that for classmates we don't know as well. [/quote]
