[quote=Anonymous]OP, please, please, please tell the kids' parents that it's difficult to have the kids over as they tend to leave a big mess and/or break things.  I'm a parent who was constantly texting a neighborhood mom over and over again about setting up a play date.  She had a couple excuses but then texted me that my son hit hers a couple time when they  got into a fight and her kid doesn't want to play with mine anymore.  I was shocked since mine was the one that kept asking me to set up the playdate.  But I was so thankful (and I told her so)

I asked her what exactly happened since my kid wasn't telling me and I appreciated her being upfront with me.  It was a big teaching moment for my son (6 years old) about if you're going to smack someone around, they won't want to hang out with you anymore and that's what happened with little joey.

the other mother was actually really nice about it and ended up saying that if we wait a little bit, we could try again (after I told her I was going to talk to mine about hitting, etc.)

Some parents really want to know if their kids are acting up and might not have a clue (like I didn't know) - Tell the other parent what her kids are up to.

Oh, and if your kids like to play with hers, what about sending your kid to their house when they text about a playdate?[/quote]
