[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We don't host many playdates. DH has OCD (diagnosed, not social media OCD) and it's very stressful to have additional kids in the house. I hate this, I've fought it, I know it's damaging to our kids, but it's what it is. It's more trouble than it's worth so we do meetups, outings, DH is happy to take kids to sporting events etc. and it's fine and fun in those cases.
 
I know I could easily be the other mom in this situation because sometimes I have to plead out of it with my kids, especially when they were little. I guess you never know. [/quote]

Ok, but don’t make the other parents look like the a-holes. Figure out a way to put it on yourselves even if you don’t want to out your dh’s disability. It’s one thing to lie and say I can’t take you to the ice cream shop because it’s closed and another to lie and say “Karla’s
Parents just can’t make time for you” [/quote]

I don't necessarily disagree with your instinct, but it's pretty self-centered to think this way -- not to mention lacks some imagination to think there may be reasons tey need to
