[quote=Anonymous]Most of my kids friends don’t reciprocate play dates and sleepovers to the degree that we host. I don’t really mind for several reasons. First it’s really not that big of a deal to have a kid over, or take them to a museum, restaurant etc. if you don’t want to spend the money just stay home. In the end you do these things so your child has friends and a social life, not to be even with the parents. The other side is that if parents don’t reciprocate, it often happens that kids connect less and they’ll gravitate towards the ones they get to see more often. My 5th grader is now planning things with their friends on their own like going to the park, stopping by their house, asking parents for sleepovers. The closest friend is the one that has the freedom to do all these things, although maybe personally wise is not the best match. Eventually the reciprocation will matter less and kids will figure out on their own when and how to hang out together. [/quote]
