[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here- wow! [b]So much judgement and hate[/b] already in this thread! Dcum never fails to dish up the vitriol.

Thanks to everyone kind for their reasonable responses. These are new friends and I’m not close enough with the woman to address it. Of course I understand and applaud it if the dad wants to spend time with his daughter on their weekends. She was lovely and a great guest. However, I would prefer not to spend my limited Saturday nights socializing with a 15 year old after being with my own kids all day.

I do think it may be an only child thing (she’s an only child on his side)[/quote]

This is rich coming from someone's posts are filled with judgement of a 15 year old who, in your own words, was "lovely and a great guest." You start a judgmental thread and are surprised people are judgmental?!?

Continuing the judgment, I will also say if I were your guest I would also have found it weird that you served the kids early and separately from the adults. If you invite the whole family for dinner I assume it will be a family dinner. If what you are planning is an adult dinner party with the kids fed and occupied separately that's fine, but that's not what many people will expect, so you need to be very clear in your invitation. "We'd to have you and spouse over for a nice adult dinner. We know child care is hard to come by and the kids enjoy each other's company, so we thought you could bring them and we'd feed them before our dinner and then let them veg out with movies and video games in the rec room." This makes it clear that the family is invited to your house but not to the dinner, and they can choose whether to come and which family members to bring.[/quote]
