We've lived in this area for three years, one in this street. Ds, 3 is NT, he may have the odd tantrum and have difficulty sharing toys sometimes, but is generally a sweet little boy to play with. I think I am ok at making conversation and asking people about themselves and being fairly laid back. Ds doesn't go to nursery, which means he only knows people from the playground and from the local area. We have invited one little girl over twice, they played nicely, [save for a big tantrum from ds once] and play nicely in the playground whenever they see each other. Mother always says 'oh you must come over to play' and i say 'that would be nice' but 4 months later has never actually invited us over. Same story with a little boy who came to ds's party, they got on famously when we met them by accident at a pub, and the mother said 'Oh you must come over..' Not a dickie bird. Another little girl who ds gets on with invited us over today. For the second time she got very upset about ds playing with one of her toys and her mother asked her if she wanted me and ds to leave [we'd been there for about an hour.] she nodded. We left. But i was visibly upset and I said I thought this was unfair on my ds to her. I'm a bit hormonal and probably showed my feelings too much. She'll probably not talk to me again. I don't know what I'm doing wrong but I feel it is so unfair on ds who loves other children and plays with them well. Dh said it must be something I'm doing wrong, talk about rubbing my nose in it. What could it be? Really down about it.
