If you received a letter from another parent at your kids school saying that kids had been playing together at school and that their child had said they'd like to arrange to play together outside of school ( playdate I suppose but I hate that word), and saying that they'd tried to catch you in playground but other kid goes to after school club so never there at same time, and to let them know if you'd like to arrange something.
Would you think it was weird, or ok?
I'm the one who sent the letter, we've not long moved to the area.
I've had no message/reply so wondering now if they think I'm odd.

I wouldn't find it odd at all. I'd perhaps think the parent was a bit shy/ awkward with face to face contact with people they didn't know or genuinely hadn't been able to catch the other parent.

Are you sure they’ve received the letter? How did you pass it on? I don’t think it’s odd at all :)

Not odd at all. Maybe try again asking for a contact number, giving yours. If you still
don’t hear anything, they probably are not interested, but don’t stress, you did nothing wrong.

It’s a perfectly normal letter. It’s probably stuffed at the bottom of the child’s backpack, or parents are just not very organised / have a lot on and are trying to sort out dates to suggest.

How did you give them the letter? If it was via their child theres a good chance the letter is at the bottom of their backpack
