What's a nice way of saying "No thanks, my DC doesn't want to come for tea with your DC as she doesn't like her"???

Thought this might get more response than my original rather dull thread title

Tricky - because they might become friends in the future, children are always in and out of friendships quite quickly. I would just say to the the mum that your daughter feels quite shy with the other child, and sort of roll my eyes! Say it is a phase, which it probably is, and at some point there may be a tea visit that she wants to go on.

I'm not very forthright as a person and having been in this situation with my ds, I've just had to make excuses! I just say 'what about next week?' or 'we're busy that day'. It's a cop out I know but I live in a small village so don't want to upset anyone!!

Oops sorry, didn't realise anyone had actually posted on here. The proper thread is here, including answers to the questions here. Sorry, my silly fault for starting 2 threads but no one was responding to the other one!

Thanks musical - yes that seems to have worked with DD2 but just wouldn't ring true with DD1 I don't think.

You're on my wavelength too, moomoo! Thing is, it's a 'when can X come for tea?' situation ...

rasputin - all is explained on the other thread
