[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP never came back to talk about the age of the kids and what her own child is doing when the other kid goes in her bedroom. I think that's pretty telling - OP's kid is the instigator, not the guest.[/quote]

Hi, OP here. Sorry to disappoint, I was at an outdoor dinner last night and am just catching up.

The age of my daughter (who does not enter my bedroom with the visiting friend) and the friend are 8.

Here’s what happens: They’ll both be upstairs playing in my daughter’s bedroom, and then I’ll hear my bedroom door open, and when I go up, sure enough Visitor Jane is in my bedroom. Again. So I tell her not to go in my bedroom. Again. This happens at least once a play date.

Based on the responses here, I am inclined only to invite Jane for meet-up-in-the-park play dates and such, and (when things get a little more normal) birthday parties, if we do a birthday party in our home. No more our-house play dates. We’ll still socialize with her, but if she can’t obey the rules of the house, no more invites for play dates.[/quote]
