AITH for letting one of my kids go on play dates when the other doesn’t get invited to any? I don’t really think I’m the AH here but I feel awful and would love to hear the group’s thoughts.
I have a son who is 9 and is invited on play dates by many different friends once or twice a week. I also have a son who is 6 and has only been invited on a play date once.
I think it’s largely because of age, but my 6-year-old is heartbroken every time my 9-year-old gets to go.
We do something special with him on those days (kids museum, art project, etc) - but it’s just not the same. There is one kid we’ve invited on play dates a couple times but it has only been reciprocated once.
Unfortunately, all of our friends and neighbors have kids who are 8-10 - we don’t have any with kids closer in age to my youngest - so we struggle to find friends for him to play with in that regard as well. What can I do to make the situation easier?
