Dear Amy: I get tired of having the same kids over and rarely getting invited back, but I don’t want my son to never get to play with his bestie, either.
My kids enjoy playing with their friends outside of school, and I mostly don’t mind hosting playdates.One of my son’s best friends is frequently invited to our house, but rarely reciprocates.The mom even acknowledges that they “need to have him over,” but the invite never seems to arrive.Short of inviting ourselves to their house, is there a way to politely ask them to play there more often?
It sounds as if your son is a sociable child who enjoys having friends around, and he has a mom who is generous and accommodating.You don’t note their ages, but raising three children is exponentially more challenging than raising two., the women reported that three children is the most stressful number of kids to have .By “sucking it up” a little bit more – perhaps by taking more well-deserved pride in your parenting and your sociable household.
It is good for your children to experience occasional “boredom,” where they are not diverted and entertained by their friends or by you.She and her husband live about 500 miles away from us, and ever since our two children were young, she has invited them to spend three weeks during the summer at their farm, which is located in a beautiful rural area.Last year when we went to pick up the kids , we were quite shocked to see that their grandmother had cut their hair.
