[quote=Anonymous]PS: for the person who's judgy about playdates and "scheduling" bla bla bla. Listen, there are some realities about people's lives that make scheduling playdates a really good idea. 1. Both parents work, commuting, before and after school programs, etc. Sometimes things have to be scheduled or they don't happen. 2. Young kids. They need to be taken to and from, therefore: a schedule. Older kids are less of an issue--they can get themselves to and from more easily and reliably. 3. Distance. Not everyone lives in a neighborhood densely populated with other kids, and even if they do, these kids are also often at before and after school care. Therefore, again: schedule or it won't happen. The days of half-time working parents or SAH parents for the majority of elementary school aged kids are over. Nannies are expensive, so most kids go to daycare (even if "yours" don't). That is how things go for most people. [/quote]
