[quote=Anonymous]I hate playdates where I barely know the other family. I love playdates with kids my kids are already friends with. So easy! The problem is that in order to get to the point where you know the other family and it's all easy, you usually have to do at least a couple play dates or family meet ups where it's awkward and annoying. And the worst is when your kid becomes friends with a kid who kind of sucks AND their family kind of sucks. But we have a handful of families with whom playdates are genuinely great and a pleasure to host because I like their kids and it means my kids are happy and entertained. Plus then you get reciprocal play dates where your kid goes to their house and that basically free childcare without having to acclimate your children to a caregiver. Such a win-win. If all playdates were like that, no one would ever complain.[/quote]
