Don’t know if I’m being unfairly annoyed, I’ve had a bad day so could be.
Me and friends children are good friends and we enjoy the occasional play date as we live near.
I reached out to suggest a play date over the half term and they responded with (in summary) “that would be great because I’m studying and husband is doing his hobby can you have him tomorrow at x time”
No issues with this- asked back if she would mind if we took him to the park round the corner- for context they have 1 child and I have 2- my other is an energetic filled toddler who I need to take out multiple times a day because he isn’t at that sit still age. They’ve asked I don’t as he often gets sick from that park - I don’t think this is a cover for not trusting us as I said many play dates before. I’m annoyed because I’m doing you a favour and now I have to be confined to my small house and honestly children get sick, I fail to see how a playground is to blame.

I too would never take someone else's child anywhere without telling the parent. Op would also be responsible for keeping an eye on 3 children in a public space so I would worry about that. No need to stay in, just tell her that it won't work anymore so you have to reschedule.

YABVU for not being arsed to put a subject line in

Why did you ask I would have just gone to the park with them

Thanks for your thoughts- all went well in the end, all the kids played in the garden and my child is off to theirs later in the week. Live and learn.
