[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you offer her the opportunity to watch TV by herself she’s likely to accept because I imagine her participation in the adult conversation was even more awkward for her than you.

HOWEVER, you need to keep in mind that anytime you offer someone a choice, they may not choose according to your preferences.  You need to consider the possibility that after cleaning up the guest room/sitting area and offering her the opportunity to watch TV or privacy for using her phone, she might politely decline and indicate that she’d rather join the adults again in conversation.  It also seems awkward to go to a party to sit by yourself doing what you could have done more comfortably at home.

There’s an old saying about making assumptions.  Whatever you might feel would be her best choice doesn’t mean she’ll necessarily agree.  By all means, offer her whatever options you want, but be prepared for her to have her own opinions.[/quote]

Of course I am aware of this, but thank you for letting me know. [b]She did ask if we had any finger painting and paper mache supplies available as she felt inspired to create a totem of a bird that was at our feeder,[/b] so maybe I’ll make sure to have those supplies ready next time as well.

Okay, I totally agree with you on the HFA now. This is incredibly weird. [/quote]
