[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP- why do you feel like you are an appendage of your child and that this child's mom is an appendage of that kid? This is a very peculiar way of viewing your children. You have drummed up problem. I sincerely hope that you don't invite this child over because you have some issues that you need to think about before sprinkling them out on the greater populace. [/quote]

OP here. The kid comes running to me, hugging me and asks me if he can come over to our house for a play date. The kid asked me!

I did not invite the child over and have no plans on doing so in the near future.[/quote]

OP, I was sympathetic to you until this post.  This is mean spirited.  You should reread this post after you've stepped back from feeling attacked and you'll see how mean spirited it sounds.

I don't think OP is being mean spirited.  This happens to us a lot and I'm the parent of a child with ASD/ADHD.  I am at school often and sometimes kids will ask for playdates with DS but when I ask DS if he wants a playdate with the kid, he says "No."  So rather than forcing a playdate on DS, I just don't follow up on arranging a playdate.

OP said her kid is ambivalent about having a playdate with this kid.  If the child did not have SNs, it's doubtful OP will be asking this question.

I am of the camp that there is no playdate unless both kids want it.[/quote]
Sorry I wasn't clear. I don't think OP's decision not to do the playdate is mean spirited, I meant the wording of this specific post was.  It would have been sufficient to say after thinking it over I've decided not to do the playdate.  I just would have written that post but that's just me.[/quote]
