[quote=Anonymous]OP, hang in there a bit longer. When your kids are four, you can start doing play dates without the other mom involved. You can host and you can try to build a little more control around those play dates. For example, you can offer to host the kids while this woman goes and does her laundry or whatever. And you should stop holding days or large chunks of time open for her to decide. you should tell her you will make a firm plan and put her in the calendar, let her know that your daughter is really looking forward to seeing her daughter, and tell her that you’re happy it worked out because both of you are so busy that it’s great you could both find time in your schedules to put this in your calendar. In other words, are you telling her that you are inconveniencing yourself to accommodate her? Or are you doing that quietly, for the sake of your child, but the other mom is a flake and doesn’t realize?[/quote]
