Is your Kindergartener invited on a lot of playdates?

[Anonymous]

My DD gets invited to a fair amount. Families with SAHM or Nannies who are able to manage the logistics and take the kids home from school. I have not been able to reciprocate since I work full time and cannot do a blessed thing after work (we also have a younger child). Since the school year started, we've averaged about 2 play date invitations per month.

Ditto for mine. I try to make it work as often as I can, which is probably once a week since we both work and we have two other kids who have their own crazy schedules. Thing is I'm surprised she keeps getting invited because I can't make it work to reciprocate. To compensate for this, I try to have a couple of parties a year for the close friends. But I do like that my DD gets to see her friends in their home and that they can play with toys and play games that my DD may not have at home.
