[quote=Anonymous]I have 3 kids ages 9.5, 7.5 and 4. We do multiple drop off play dates and sleepover for the older 2. The youngest does not get play dates yet. We did do it a few times with one friend, but it’s a huge hassle for us because it requires at least one parent present and older kids are very busy with their friends/activities. We have done probably 4-5 total play date for the youngest with a friend from preschool. I imagine it will be a lot more when in a year or two those playdates can become drop off.

Older kids get 1-2 play date/sleepover per week. Often I am able to schedule them at the same time (either both at my house or one at our house and the other at friend’s house). Logistics are often complicated and I would never do a play date for my 7 year old that is not drop off.

During play dates at our house if I was not able to organize two play dates, older kids play together, but if one wants alone time with her friend, they get it and I ask other kids to stay out of their room.

Nanny is with the youngest Mon-Fri after school.[/quote]
