[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter had severe anxiety at that age and would not play at someone else's house. I was always totally up front with other parents about that though- otherwise it does feel one sided and the dynamic is off. [/quote]

Hi, I have single DD and I don't allow her to go over to anyone's home.  We do invite other kids over.  Like this PP, I am clear about it.  When asked I say we don't allow our child to go to someone else's home.[b] It is cultural, period. [/b] Other parents understand and if they don't oh well.  OP I think the problem here is that the parent was never clear.   She didn't have to go into detail, all she had to do was say it.  I don't pick up cues over texts either, I would have thought they were just a busy family.  My best friend is always busy so I have to schedule her weeks ahead of time.  But I know that.

What culture doesn't allow playdates at other houses?  I'm not snarky, just really curious.[/quote]

Hispanics, Caribbean are two that I know of[/quote]

I'm latin, I let my kids go on play dates, but not to sleep over.  But I'm with OP, just friggin' say it.  Don't let another mom drag along with lies.  I find that so rude.[/quote]

Yes, I knew there was going to be one or two people on here that we're going to say but I'm Hispanic or "Latin" and I allow play date. I was just speaking of people whom I knew were not used to play dates becuase of their culture. That is all. As always with these kind of things there are exceptions to the general rule.[/quote]
