I invited a few of my neighbors and their kids over this afternoon - we just had coffee and the kids played. The kids were all different ages - from 2 to about 10.
There is a neighbor who everyone likes but none of the kids like her daughter - she's 9 and very whiny and bossy. My daughter (who is 6) is always polite to her, but doesn't really consider her a friend. I had her over a few times and my daughter just doesn't have anything in common with her and is bored and keeps asking when she is leaving.
Anyway, this neighbor happened to stop by with her daugher to see if we wanted to go to Chuck E. Cheese with them. They saw all the people in the house. I politely said, not today, maybe another time. I feel bad that I didn't invite them in. I hate to force friendships on my daughter, but I know how I would feel if I wasn't the one invited.
