Got a call from a mom I don’t know well. I was on a call so let it go to vmail. Checked later and the message was from the moms dd asking if she could invite herself over. My dd is not good friends with the girl. The kicker is that the other girl has a phone but I would not have recognized the number. So I think the mom let the girl use her phone thinking I would pick up and be confronted with the girls asking me directly if she could visit. I have my thoughts, but wondering what do you all think about this? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

i wouldn't think twice. your number is likely not in the kid's phone, just the mom's so she handed her kid her phone. new school year - things change so i am fine with a kid asking for a playdate even if the kid isn't my kids best friend. i would likely have said yes, but if not I don't think coming up with a valid excuse is very hard when talking to a kid or a parent.

I could never imagine getting offended by a kid who likes my kid so much that they will initiate a call to set up a play date. Wow, people on UB sometimes really have horrible people skills. [ Reply | More ]

you and i would never be friends. I really detest people like you. These are kids and you are projecting your *twisted* view of the situation onto it. And worse, it ruminates to the point that you are compelled to post on a forum about it. Please get help. This is not normal. [ Reply | More ]

Consider yourself fortunate. A girl want to be friends with your dd. So many people have posted recently because dcs are having a hard time finding friends. Don't overthink this. [ Reply | More ]

OP - i’ll chime in to agree with you. One of my DS’ friends texts DH from the mom’s phone. Would be more comfortable if the mom would send the message herself. [ Reply | More ]
