I also hate the term "playdate" - um, I called my friend on the phone or just went down over the hill to her house. Like 10 minutes after I thought of it. Then again, I didn't have multiple dance/gym lessons and sports to think of. I wouldn't have minded having a little bit of that stuff, but kids nowadays are so scheduled it's ridiculous. |
My biggest peeve about "playdates" is that 9 out of 10 times, it is the parent that calls to arrange it. Usually a day or two in advance.
I refuse to call my son's friends- he is almost 8, he can read, he can dial a phone. If he wants to play with his friends, then he can figure it out himself.
I also refuse to play the "status playdate" game- I am not arranging playdates with people just because they are at the top of the mommy clique at school. If my kids are friends with their kids, then great, if not, it's not a big loss and I'm not going to jockey my kid into a friendship so it makes me feel better about myself.
