[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My ds’s close friend’s parents have been filtering my ds out throughout the pandemic.   Little things, but we’ve noticed.   In the end, the kids still adore each other and I see the way they interact at school pick up and know that they are still great friends.  My ds tells me they find each other in the middle of the school day and have chit chats in the bathroom (they are in separate classes and the schools recesses are segregated due to covid).  For whatever reason the parents have decided they don’t want to have ds around outside of school (but other kids are welcome to have play dates I’ve seen and heard).  [/quote]

could it be that your families were not aligned on Covid precautions? Or your child fits smth that PP describes above?  Seems like and odd thing to do without a good underlying reason...[/quote]

Pp here.  We were more covid cautious but no I don’t think it’s that.   Honestly I don’t know.  My DH and I have speculated as to the reasons because there was an abrupt shift and the parents are cordial with us but distant whereas not with others.  Our ds is honestly quite quirky and a handful.  He has friends. But he’s a handful.  But we’re not unloading him on the parents.  We’d gladly host.   We’ve decided not to ask for the reason and just accept that this is how they want to proceed.  Doesn’t seem worth it.  we’ve extended a bunch of outdoor invitations and some they accepted but they don’t follow up.  It’s ok.   I think we’d be doing our ds more harm by making a thing of it than just going with the flow.   [/quote]
