Has this ever happened to you?
Okay, Moms I need to know, Has this ever happened to you? Last night, my neighbor came over and proceeded to tell me that her almost 4 year old has been asking for a play date with my almost 6 year old. Now my daughter loves to play with just about anyone and has always enjoyed playing with this little girl. We have had several "play dates" that this mom has always initiated. I have no problem with these but I don't care for this mom too much so I really do too much to further this relationship on my side. The little girl is nice enough but is very bossy and with my daughter being equally as bossy, there are often arguments. All that withstanding, like I said, I have no problem with the occasional play date but I think it is a little pushy to always expect it to be at my house. Is it me? Should you always go to a neighbor that you don't know that well and ask for a play date and then once it is agreed on say " OK, I'll bring her over at ...."I personally feel if you are going to initiate the date, you should host it. Now, even though I don't care for this lady too much, I don't fear for my child in her home. She appears to be a good mother and it is never for more than an hour or so. I would reciprocate the invite if it were ever an actual invite instead of a invite yourself.

Good morning, don't be a sucker, she is looking for an hour in her jacuzzi tub being surrounded by a few candles and a good romance novel. Not a play date for her kid. Let's be real. I would suggest a playdate @ the park on neutral territory, where she has to attend as well and see how well that goes over.
Not cool....she should absolutely have it at her house if she initiates it.....go with the park idea.
sounds to me like she's looking for a babysitter, or is she staying there with you?
