[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have an only and I generally offer to host because I know its easier and I'm happy to have just one kid at my house while their siblings do something else with the parents. [b]When my son gets invited to someone else's house (which is rare and I understand why) i always tell him to include the siblings. That's how families usually work. If you're in their house so are the other kids and you have to figure that out.[/b] If meeting up somewhere, I would expect the other parent to bring siblings. I don't think that's odd.[/quote] You are wise. This is where OP is going wrong - validating and playing up her only’s “I just want alone time with my friend!” insistence - her kid is almost certainly mean and rude to the other siblings, and that’s why she’s never getting invited over [/quote]
