[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] OP here. Thanks for the replies! I agree that I think something else is going on besides the small house. I actually suspect that her husband is dealing with some kind mental illness, but I don’t know her that well, so she hasn’t said anything. The issue isn’t that she doesn’t reciprocate. She has taken my child to the zoo a couple of times. It’s that sometimes I have something else I want to do during the time the boys make plans to get together. I’m okay leaving my son (9) alone, but I don’t want to leave both boys on their own for more than a few minutes. [/quote] Oh. Then I think the solution is just "sorry, I won't be home/available then, let's talk about another time we can reschedule." I say this to my 10 year old all. the. time. Because he asks to have friends over almost every day and we have other stuff going on in our lives. It's ok to say no! [/quote]
