This was specifically a rule in my house. If you ask while your friend is there, the answer is no. It had to be prearranged.

So many reasons.

  • encourages good pre-planning
  • discourages underhand pre-planning
  • gives me the chance to talk to the other parent first
  • removes any unwanted pressure from anybody involved who doesn’t want it, but might feel pressured into saying yes because they’re already there.
  • most importantly. I (the adult) want to make the most of you (the child) being out of the house. I could have gone out to dinner, thrown a grownups party, etc.
