[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op there's several things going on here:

1. The old 3-5 time for playgroup is STUPID. It's too late in the day, runs into dinner prep time and rush hour traffic. She's a newbie playgroup mom and probably finally figured that out and changed it.

2. Every playgroup my kids were ever in was from 10-12 or something similar so they would play them go home an eat lunch and nap. That is the typical playgroup time that works best for toddler schedules. Your DD has a weird naptime so she misses out.

3. Her nap is way too early and that's probably why she's a nightmare in the afternoons. You need to be putting her down from like 1-3, not 11 am. That leaves way too long of an afternoon stretch for her to keep it together.

4. If you don't get on top of her aggression and difficult behavior, she will eventually be shunned by the kids themselves, not just their moms. Get some help to work on that before preschool. It's in her own best interest.

5. Finally, even if you live in a condo, invite people for 1:1 play dates (she honestly may do better with these) or an outside location that you suggest to everyone and plan and bring snacks for. In playgroups, you don't HAVE to host at your house if you don't have the space, but you do have to take your turn hosting. Every playgroup my kids were ever in hated that one parent who came to everyone else's house to eat and make a mess but never ever ever hosted herself. It's rude. [/quote]

Great post with helpful advice.
