[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter has a friend and we have hosted a few play dates. We hosted one right before break. Mom asks if my daughter can have a play date and I say yes. I assume she is inviting my child to her house. I confirm time and date and she asks if it can be at our house. I had holiday errands to run and I say no. Mom chooses another date and asks if my daughter is available for a play date. I said yes and then she says again is our house ok. I am just not answering her.

It is rude to ask for a play date and only suggest my house, right?

I always tell my kids that they cannot invite themselves over to others’ houses.[/quote]

Yes, it's rude unless you're BFFs and she knows that this won't bother you. You're doing the right thing by pushing back once and ignoring on the second time. She's basically pulling a bait and switch. It would be different if she said, "Larla enjoyed playing at your house so much last time and has been begging to come back over. Is there any way we could schedule a time for her to come over and play? I'll reciprocate by hosting your kid/taking them to the movies/whatever."
