Hi All,
as European who has been living in London for 20 years I still find myself at loss when trying to understand the cultural differences with British culture.
Since I had my daughter 8 years ago I really struggle with the clues sent by other parents and find difficult to interpret the signs. Can someone please explain to me why when you send a message inviting their child for a playdate they other say yes straight away or you will never hear from them ever again? Is no such an oscene word in the British culture? I cannot comes to term with the fact that this attitude is a strike contrast with an otherwise extremely polite and respectful culture. Thank you for any insight you might have!
