Honestly, coordinating play dates is seriously one of my least favorite parts of parenting, hands down. I've had similar experiences and it's sooooo frustrating! I agree with everyone else that I'm sure it has nothing to do with yall and my guess is that family just doesn't do many playdates, period -- but it still is so frustrating!
I so wish we have friends in the neighborhood the kids could just run around with. This whole playdate thing is so frustrating and it's hard to not take the lack of response (or reciprocal) invites personally!
