My mil wanting my dc to go to hers for a sleepover. THEY DON'T WANT TO!!! (I'm sick of being nice and making excuses. Just 'NO- FUCK OFF) And have you heard of Covid?
Mine asked my (then) three year old.
“Do you want to go out for a coffee sometime and you can have a hot chocolate?”
She just politely went “no thank you”
That was that. Never asked again.
I mean she’s never bothered before or since, so why would the child want to go?!?
