[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only circumstances IMO under which this is acceptable is if the kid is *currently* out of control and the playdate would be a disaster. In that case, you're protecting everyone. But just as a punishment? No. [/quote]

I’m here. I have in the past canceled saying “Larla is having a rough morning and I don’t trust her to behave appropriately so I’m afraid we’re not going to be able to XYZ, I’m really sorry. I hope we can do a rain check soon.” I haven’t had to do it in more than a year. [/quote]

OP here and I admit to doing this for terrible behavior/suspected illness, but not for a BIG planned outing. More, like, going to someone’s house and my son is acting so strangely that I suspect a fever on the rise.[/quote]

PP you’re replying to. Yeah, for a big event I would tell my friend “Hey, Larla has been a disaster this morning, I’m going to have a serious talk with her about behavior expectations but just a heads up that if she can’t behave we may have to cut things short.” And I’d point out to Larla that if I have to take her home early from the cool thing, that punishes her friend too.
