[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have 3 kids - 1 in preschool and 2 in elementary. My older kids have a lot of activities and sports after school. My 3rd grader has about 1 play date or birthday party per week. My 5th grader has probably 1 play date or birthday party per month. My preschool child goes to preschool twice per week and we do 1 play date per week.

Just curious how often others are playing.

We don’t live in a neighborhood with a lot of kids so all play dates need parent planning and driving.[/quote]

That is way, way more than we do, and I feel guilty about it.  We have a kid in elementary, one in preschool, and a baby.  The elementary kid has a playdate probably once a month (birthday parties seem separate to me).  Preschool kid never has had one.  They both play with the neighbors maybe once or twice a week.

I find it really, really hard to do all the planning and driving while I still have a baby, so my oldest child suffers.  I know she'd like to have friends (other than the neighbors) over more.[/quote]

Does your preschool child play with the neighborhood kids?[/quote]
