Help, need an excuse to cancel

[[M]umma[M]ia]

How rude of her! Just tell her the truth. Seems she needs to be brought down a few pegs anyway.

why don't you just go? if she doesn't want dd1 there it is her problem.

[Artechim]

Probably should just go, but I know I would spend the whole time apologizing for any little thing DD may do and worrying what the other mum was thinking about her (she is very prone to tantrums atm).

Anyway, problem solved - someone else just invited themselves around. They are DH's friends so I suggested that 3-4pm might be better because DH would be home but they said now suited them better so they are on their way. DD1 is asleep on the couch and the house is a mess. I am such a phone doormat!

How rude of her....if I asked a little one over for a playdate, I would expect the siblings too....what did she expect you to do with DD1 if your DH was out??? Good you have an excuse now.

[Maruschke]

I'd tell the truth so she knows in future not to make such requests. You can't keep making excuses forever.

I'd not go arte.

all my kids are welcome and all my friends kids are welcome. i understand if you were to just drop DS off and leave (ie you're not there), but if it is a playdate where you are there, then i reckon i would turn the 'offer' down.

she sounds pretty rude TBH.
