[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find it incredible that people on here are siding with the mom.  She intentionally did not covet facts to OP when discussing the play date of the 9pm time.

For all you people, let’s arrange a 1st play date with a child and family who you don’t know.  Then when the kid is there tell you that she either needs to stay till 9pm or you need to drive far away and drop her off at grandmom.

Who in their right mind does this s’hit?

PP directly before you - a lot of people prefer to be jerks and then criticize other people for not "using their words" and telling them they're being jerks.  Those are the people defending 9pm playdate mom.[/quote]

You realize people have more than 1 child and often don’t get home until late after sports practice/games.

If you plan a playdate there is no expectation someone is just sitting at home waiting for it to be over.

If late pickup is not an option and u can’t drop of “use your words”. [/quote]

I have three kids and, yes, if I'm scheduling a playdate for one of them, you're damn right I expect a caregiver to be around at a reasonable hour for drop-off, if the kid is young enough to need one.

Moreover, if I need childcare help from a friend, I state it up front.  "Larla would love to come over tomorrow, but Larlo has a late soccer game and DH is out of town.  Is 9pm pick up too late - happy to reschedule if so."

Stop picking on the OP for not "using her words" when the 9pm playdate mom isn't using hers.[/quote]
