Ds has playdate next week, might be going to cinema....

The Mum casually mentioned at the school gates yesterday. Now she seems lovely, but we don't know her, she will also be with her dh woh I have never met.

Now whilst I'm happy for him to play at her house for a couple of hours, not quite sure about trip out, dark cinema, ds gets easily bored, blah blah.

How can I tell her without causing offense? Or am I wrapping up my ds in cotton wool?

He's 4.5 btw.

I would be a bit concerned as well. Could you go as well, as it's a first time with them?

No I'm at work. Dh is off but don't think he'd like the idea of tagging along with a married couple tbh.

Has your ds been to a cinema before? If he has, and enjoyed it, I'd think it was fine - a special treat in fact. If not, or if he wasn't comfortable there, I'd tell the mum it won't work and reschedule.
