[quote=Anonymous]This doesn't sound normal at all.  Are the people doing this all the same or different families?  If it's just one family, maybe they are just taking advantage of the playdates and not following normal "rules."

If it's multiple families, it seems really unusual and odd.

I would say that you should set up more expectations ahead of time, maybe even in writing if you need to -- like a text or email, in case they miss it in a conversation.  If the person was late for pickup but apologized and clearly knew it was their mistake, then no biggie, but if they acted like nothing was wrong, that would be a problem.  Did you make it clear to them that they were late by rushing out the door as soon as they arrived?

As for meals, I think that's really weird, but I wouldn't get too upset about it.  11-1 without lunch seems super odd, but who knows how it came about?  Maybe the mom asked and the kids said they weren't hungry because they were playing.  The kid who came over at 1:30 without food may have eaten but just have been hungry again already.  It seems inconsiderate of the parents but probably nothing to be overly stressed about.

On the other hand, if this is all the same family acting this way, stop having playdates with them -- they seem incredibly rude.[/quote]
