[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I haven't read the whole thread but I'm surprised more posters aren't agreeing with how weird it is [b]to drop off[/b] a 5 YEARS OLDER sibling uninvited to a zoo outing. As OP said, of course he's bored, what were you thinking?[/quote]

It was never stated that th zoo playdate was a dropoff. I think everyone agrees you don't bring an uninvited sibling to a dropoff playdate because the other mom is not some sort of group babysitter. [/quote]

Also, OP’s kid is 7 and uninvited sibling 12. Not sure where you got the 5 from[/quote]

Stand corrected, he wasn't dropped off the mom was there too, but I still don't think most 12 year-old boys want to hang out with 7 year-old girls so I don't know why you'd bring him. The 5 was referring to the age difference. If he were 9 it'd make sense. [/quote]

He probably didn’t want to be there, but the mom may have very valid reasons for not leaving him at home (behavior, getting him to an activity afterwards, a dozen different reasons). So, sorry if it wasn’t the OP envisioned,  but when you feel entitled to an outing that requires a lot of another parent’s time, you don’t get to set all the terms.  OP drips of disdain for all these siblings in her post. I wouldn’t be surprised if she let on that she wasn’t thrilled the older child was included. [/quote]
