[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So what are families supposed to do when another family keeps asking for a playdate and we’re just not into the kid or family? Especially when it’s an only child who seems lonely? Or when the parent organizes parties and seems to want a good turnout?  Should we decline them with a dumb excuse and then they’ll be upset? Or accept them and then they’ll be upset anyway since we’re not interested in reciprocating? Which one is worse to you?[/quote]

Agree with this. Would you rather people declined your invitations if they know they can never reciprocate? Also what about all the times that people host and I actually do not feel like going but rally and go because I know they are expecting me or their kids will be disappointed if my kids don't show. In those cases I feel like I'm doing something for the host instead of the other way around. Being a guest is not always this wonderful experience -- sometimes it's a pain but you go and put on a smile and make small talk because you want your friend to have a successful party.[/quote]
