[quote=cuzimawesome]Playdates are just what you call kids getting together to play. It's just more planned nowadays... hence the name "playdate". It's understandable that parents do playdates because of busy schedules etc. But it is a bit annoying, as a so-called "relaxed" parent, that my kids can't run down the street to play with Jimmy on a whim. It has to be scheduled. Because Jimmy is at french class, or modern dance class, or drama class or one of the three sports he's signed up for. Meanwhile I just throw my kids in the backyard to play in the dirt. And yes, my kids are signed up for classes. Just usually one class at a time... maybe two at most. I believe in a lot of downtime and creative play. Things just tend to be VERY scheduled around this area. And the only time I stay for an entire playdate, is if it's the first one. After that I leave my kids, and return the favor to the mom at another time.[/quote]
