[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, sometimes my kid asks me for a playdate on the weekend when we end up with a pocket of time - but she asks me during the pocket of time. I might be comfortable texting some people for a play date in 5 minutes but not many - so I might say something like they are probably busy, in order to redirect the child. This is because I know it’s rude to give people no notice of plans and she doesn’t. It could be this simple.[/quote] My kid does this too. It's not her fault, kids don't know about planning ahead. But yeah, we have a handful of families we can text with know notice with "want to go to the park?" But if it's a family I don't know we'll, or who we only see with more formal plans, I would not invite in that situation. I might even say "it's too last minute to ask, let's plan ahead next time so we can make sure they aren't busy" and a 5 yr old might interpret that as "they're busy."[/quote]
