Anyone else's kids never get invited to playdates?

[RadStag]

Seriously. It's starting to bother me now!

Since September DD5 has been invited on 1 play date. We've invited 8 kids. Not a single reciprocating invitation. No initial invitations

We know others are having multiple play times.

It's a bit depressing really that it feels like we're always the ones asking.

Just a thought, but if you are serious about wanting to build closer bonds with the people around you (which does often hold the key to play dates at this age!), you may want to think about whether you are projecting these kind of signals in real life. You have a choice, you can be however you want to be, but in responding to this comment you could have said something like “yeah, good point, I hadn’t thought that some people wouldn’t see it the same way I do - thanks for the different perspective, that’s helpful’. Rather than “what the fuck is it then”. You may not do that in real life but the chances are you are giving off “what the fuck is it then” vibes, and that causes people to hold you at more of a polite distance. Friendly, but not friends. I’m more of the what the fuck view of life myself, but I’ve learnt that life is a lot more fun if you look for the good in people, even when it may not actually be there. More often than not it is, and if it’s not, you’ve lost nothing. Just a thought. Feel free to tell me to fuck off!!

Yes my youngest is asd diagnosed and he never gets invited back.

That poster is just being goady. Ignore them and they’ll get bored eventually.
