[quote=Anonymous]OP, what you have to understand if you are trying to arrange playdates with families with 2-3 kids, is that they do not care about having the playdate. It's nothing against your kid or you, it's just that they don't care/the playdate is an inconvenience. Most kids do fewer playdates these days than you did when you were a child. They are busy with sports, lessons, tutors, etc. And both parents work. They don't have time and they don't need the playdate because their kids have each other (and soccer practice, and piano lesson, etc). Playdates will only occur if it really works for them, and if you put a ton of restrictions on it, then it doesn't work. Sign your only child up for more activities. Meeting at the park won't work much longer anyway as they get too old. [/quote]
