[quote=Anonymous]DC is still at a young age where the parent wants to stay during a playdate. We have friends who tend to invite themselves over when they want to get together. While I'm happy to have them over and am incredibly grateful to have these friends, I wish I could find ways to limit the amount of time they stay. I'm an introvert and I get tired entertaining a parent for more than 2 hours. They usually end up staying 3-4 hours and that's just too long for me to have one on one time with a person while also tending to my other children. I also just have a ton of stuff to get done on the weekends and it gets hard to entertain for that long. I don't want to get to a point where I'm lying or avoiding them all together to get out of long playdates. What's a nice way to ask them not to stay too long or to say we can't play past a certain time? [/quote]
