[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If that’s your kid’s currency then yes it’s a good consequence. Your obligation is to your child not someone else’s child. [/quote]

What the heck? No this is not ok. If this is literally the only thing your kid cares about then you fulfill your commitment and say we are taking a break from play dates for a while and don’t agree to any for a month or something.

How lazy do you have to be to not be able to come up with a different consequence?? If you are a parent who has done this in the past you screwed up, sent a terrible message to your kids and definitely hurt their social lives[b]. I would never invite a child again if they pulled this.[[/b]/quote]

That's a you problem.  And honestly the child would probably be better  of not being : in your circle" Outside of DCUM land  this is not an issue and most parents aren't this unbalanced to be 1. thinking that much about the kid who didn't show up 2. figure if they didn't show up it's probably for a good reason.[/quote]
