[quote=Anonymous]Or, the OP's kid might act out on a playdate and the other parent might pass judgment on the OP for how she handles it....see the vicious cycle, Mommies???  I have a handful of kids, and the oldest is pushing 10 so I've had the pleasure of observing tons of kids over the past nine years, and I can assure you that even the most awesome kids with the coolest parents act out.  Trust me, you would probably be surprised how your kid acts at playdates when you aren't around. One of my sons nicest friends used to run into my pantry and grab snacks like a crazed lunatic. Turns out his mom is very anti-snacks, so the poor kid was equal parts hungry and excited by new treats. This kid was 7 at the time, and up until then I had never noticed any issues with him. All of this is to say that one day the OP's perfect three year old just might have a less than stellar moment down the road, and I will say a prayer for the OP that the other parents don't shun her for that (or offer her parenting books).[/quote]
