[quote=Anonymous]A playdate is just a name for scheduling a time to get your kid(s) together with their friend(s). It's not terribly complicated. I'm surprised that OP is so confused by it all. FWIW, I see a playdate as the parenting version of what I do to see my adult friends. Trying to get together spontaneously rarely works. At this stage of our lives, we've got a lot going on -- kids, work, travel to see family out of town etc. -- so scheduling in advance helps ensure that we see each other as often as we like to. It's the same with DCs' friends. I love seeing them play together and it's fun to meet other parents. Yes, we also make spontaneous calls on the weekends ("We're heading over to [x] playground or [y] restaurant. Want to meet us there?"), but if we want to be sure to see people, it's easiest just to get a date on the calendar ahead of time. Again I'm not sure why this is so confusing to OP.[/quote]
