How to handle this? Invitiing friend home for tea.

[LynetteScavo]

DD is in reception, and has made good freinds with an absolutely lovely little girl in her class, and has asked if she can invite her home for tea.

All fine, except there is no way I would let DD go to this freinds house, should the invitation be reciprcated.

So how do I handle it? Obviously, this girls parents may secretly be eyeing me up and thinking there is no way they would accept a tea invitation from me.

I can't say DD is too shy to go to someone elses house, as she obviously isn't!

DD may well be in this girls class for the next 7 years!

Based on your concerns I would discourage your dd's friendship with this girl. Shame as it sounds as if this girl could do with some support.

I wouldnt discourage your daughters friendship with this girl at all, it sounds like she could be having quite a difficult homelife in which case coming to your house is probably a very welcome reprive. Also gives you a chance to keep your ears open to anything she says/does that may be concerning from a cp point of view. As for the offer being recipricated, I highly doubt it, if the mother is stressed and obviously not coping I doubt shed want other peoples children to look after too.

I'd probably feel sorry for the little girl and still invite her, even though discouraging the friendship might be the more sensible option in the long run...
Have to agree, it looks very unlikely that your DD will be invited back.
