    The same is happening to me.

    Sorry, I didn't get a notification on this, not sure why. She is 8. I also used to call friends to play, and my son also does, but inviting to play on the playground or our house. At this time she asked to enter. I got be honest that this is not the only situation I don't approve. Maybe for an isolated case for another child I would not care.

    I kept thinking about it... it is about selfishness, but a weird situation that turns us to think we are being selfish when in fact the other is showing a selfish attitude.

    Strange coincidence... this post today and now for the first time in our building, a girl simply rang the door bell and asked to stay to play with my son. I thought my wife had invited while my wife got speechless. I like when children come to play but not this way.

    For me playdate means something that both families are being benefited, no matter which house is hosting. Of course, over time with friendship things can change and it is OK to take care of a child for a while. But this situation you mentioned is a little strange.

    One thing to consider if possible is to hire an au pair to communicate on the target language.

    Hey TM, now I understood the value of the social groups and I found a handful of them that will be useful to me. Thank you!

    Here we use also OPOL. English and Portuguese. My wife speaks in Portuguese with the kids and I speak in English. In this case, what is important is to have consistency. But I have read that the important is to do the way it feels natural to you and I've seen some cases in which the language was mixed by the same parent and the child absorbed both languages with no problem.

    Hello! I'm a member since 2012 but I guess this is my first post. I'm a father of a 5yo bilingual boy, and now the family increased with one baby boy. I'm here looking for information for both of my boys as the older is about to start Kindergarten and the younger is entering on the same path of his big brother. I'm raising the baby also bilingual. I have a website also where people can look for resources like books and toys and upvote what is good. This way, it is a place for parents to easily find what is relevant, good or trending on products related to children education. It is http://4mysunshine.com
