[quote=Anonymous]OP, I posted before but now think you could have done some things differently. Here's the issue. The little girl was bored. so yes, she probably wanted to go play in ___'s room, where she thinks the good toys are. If she got an attitude from then on in, why do you think this is? Did she feel hurt by your tone? Maybe a better approach would have been to just say "we've got a ton of toys in the playroom, holly would probably prefer to be there to show you around her room herself. maybe the two of you can get together ____?" instead of saying "Jane does not like people in her room when she is not there" which just sounds stuffy (even though you were right to enforce that).

Another thing is, whether or not this little girl was invited, once she shows up it might be nice to make a big effort to include her. Set her up with something to reduce the boredom, include her in the convo, etc. I'm not saying you were WRONG to not do this or that your friend had a right to expect it, but I think it would have alleviated your problem. How much would it suck to be a 3rd grader dragged along for coffee, brunch, then two women shopping?
