My ds has been at his new school for about 5 weeks now and he is quite fond of one particular boy in his class and they are good friends.
My ds has been asking for this boy to come back and play after school one of the days and I mentioned to this boys mom on friday just gonethat my ds would love her ds to come and play on monday today after the weekend she responded then while my ds was with me by saying that she doesn,t know what she is doing as she has an older daughter who she takes to this and that.
Well of course my ds has been eager all weekend looking forward to having this friend back today despite me saying that it isn,t confirmed and he shoudln,t get his hopes up.
Today the pair of them come bounding out together my ds excited thinking that this boy will be coming to our house.
My ds being my ds kept asking is he coming then and I knew that if he was the boys mom would have discussed it with me.
I did howvere mention it again to her but again she made excuses all very nicely though that she was very busy with this and that and turned to my ds and said that we will sort it after the holiday as we are all very busy with after school clubs etc.
I looked at my ds's face and could see how disappointed he was and he was terrible when we got home looking very sorrowful.
I know that he would still very much love this boy to come but I would feel a fool to keep pushing it with this mom and I get the feeling that it will never come off.
Would you bother asking someone about a playdate again if this was the reaction that you got each time, I know that people can lead busy lives but do you think I am flogging a dead horse with this woman and she is fobbing us off.
I do feel a bit disppointed that my first attempt at arranging a playdate has gone like this.
