But I really soured on a family whose DD is good friends with my DD. They came over for a pandemic play date in May or so, we were outside, with masks. I ordered pizza which I heated at 400 degrees etc., made it all safe. Then the parents left (who were doing no social distancing and didn’t seem to understand that due to a health condition in the family we have to be careful). Anyway, the girls played alone and the friend said to my DD repeatedly that this is the worst play date ever. DD was sad about it. When the friend left, she took 2 unopened San Pelleginos with her (ok, I don’t care about the few dollars, but who does that?!?). As I said, it’s petty and I really used to like them but didn’t feel like having this girl over at all anymore.
At age 10, why cant the kids make their own arrangements? i.e. why are you involved and why would parents come with the child?
In the spirit of the old UB you are hereby known as Lemonade Mom
The lemonade thing is beyond petty and doesn't warrant further conversation. Regarding he playdate request, I would just ask the parents if they're sure their DD wants one since she was really unhappy at the last one. Just make sure it's the child behind the request and this isn't some covert kid-sitting favor for a kid who doesn't want to be there.
I would not socialize with the parents anymore. I can totally ignore the taking of the lemonade, they are kids and sometimes if they are not allowed soda drinks, they really want them. But telling another child this is the worst play date would not sit well with me. I may invite one more time and observe, if she is still rude to your DC, cut them off.
She sounds like a thug lol. Sorry your DD had to deal w her
Give the girl a chance particularly if your DD still wants to be friends with her. Everybody has bad days and while her taking the lemonade certainly isn't best behavior maybe you can overlook it?
I’m with you but I don’t follow what has happened in the last 4 months to cause yLou to post this today. Are they asking about another play date?
You say you "used to really like them," but I am assuming this behavior (entitled) is not new with them.
Well kids Suck but taking the water is really weird
