[quote=Anonymous]My kids have asked me not to allow other kids (including their siblings) in their rooms when they are not there and I respect their wishes.  They keep things they don't want to share in there, items purchased w/their own money, pottery they don't want broken accidentally, their diaries, etc.  I also don't allow their friends to play in my room - even when I am there.  We don't allow children to take food/drinks outside of the kitchen or dining room.  They can't jump on the couch, etc.  Different homes have different rules.

The friend should've called and invited OP to her house when it became apparent that the DD wasn't going to let her go without her.  The OP could've suggested they reschedule for another time when they are both "kids free."  It sounds like the friend thinks "kids free" only applies to the OPs kids.

The friend has trouble setting limits with her DD.  She let her DD change an adults-only plan she had made and is offended that her DD was asked to follow a rule in someone else's house.  A rule that applies to every child who visists (not just her DD).

As to a response to this friend's email, I would simply state that you didn't intend to make anyone feel uncomfortable.  The rule applies to any child visiting - not just her DD.  You would've planned more child-centered activities had you known she was coming in advance.
