Gee, we have a single, but invite neighbor kids over to give our kid a chance to play with someone else they like. Sometimes parent of multiples invites them over instead. Seems to work. Sorry you've had a tough time.

I can only hope this is meant to be funny or sarcastic. Because if not, you need to seek help.


Oh, please check the OP's original post.

No, your child cannot have a play date on those days just because you need a way to occupy them. I have two children who like each other and play together and that's how we get through these days. YOU NEED TO COME UP WITH A PLAN THAT DOES NOT INVOLVE OTHER CHILDREN. You can't use me as your backup plan. I have a job and my own two kids to look after. Nope, just stop.




It's wonderful that you have 2 kids who have survived. I am a one and done parent (on the surface). You may not know that I had another whose life was cut short and we moved to the DMV to get away from it all. You are not my backup. I am just reaching out. that is all. good day.

Wow! What a rediculous and mean spirited post this is. I have one child who has neighborhood friends who LOVE to play together on snow days impromptu. I'm sure glad your not one of our neighbors. You keep this up and your kids won't have any friends!

This is over the top. Say yes or no. And the implication that the parents shouldn’t complain because they could’ve had another kid … you have NO IDEA about their circumstances. Many parents who describe themselves as “one and done” did not have that plan from the onset.

OP it is very easy to say no to a playdate request without passing insane judgments and screaming about it on the internet with your holier than thou attitude. Try to relax

Of course if the other family invited their kid over, there would be no need to be dramatic and OP can either accept or decline. It does suck to feel obliged to always host another child, especially when it comes with a guilt trip if you say no (Johnny will have no one to play with tomorrow, would it be OK for him to come to your house?)


Ok—but why is she referring to one and done parents as a group, as though we are all out there using poor manners and harassing parents of multiples? Lunatic. It’s clearly a judgement on people having one child, or else she would not be lumping them together in one group. Why people feel the need to judge other people’s choices in this way baffles me.
