I’m a bit socially awkward and don’t want to get this wrong, so hoping someone can help me out. My eldest (DD) has just started school and I’ve had a message from another mum asking if DD would like a play date. She’s sent some convenient dates and I’m about to message back to pick one but I’m not really clear whether this is an invite to their house or if they’re thinking of meeting somewhere. They just asked ‘would [DD’s name] like a play date?’. Would you take that as an invite to their house? How can I ask without sounding like I’m inviting us over? Also, I know the mum has an older child, and I have a younger child so I want to ask if it’s a whole family meet up type thing or just the 2 kids who are friends (so I know if I need someone to watch my youngest). What is the norm with play dates and siblings?
