[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Generally for a kinder (and younger) or maybe a 1st grader you stay for the first, possibly the 2nd, play date so that you can see how the other parent is handling supervision, how the kids are getting along, the rooms your kid is playing in and whether or not your kid is being a good guest.

Once you feel comfortable with the other parent, you do drop offs.  If the other parent is a friend you may hang around to chat - not because you have to for supervision purposes but because you want to hang out with your friend.

Sleepovers....have never been my fave thing, tbh. But we allowed them on occasion - our kids slept over at friends' houses and we allowed their friends to sleep over at our house.  I never really relaxed when my kids were out of the house or they had friends over.  But they loved them...

I could never understand the parents who want to do play dates every single weekend.  That would wear me out.  Plus, I would miss our family time together.[/quote]

Parents either want to dump their kids on someone or have kids play with other kids so they don't have to play with them.[/quote]

Or maybe, parents just want their kids to...wait for it...have fun.

And sleepivers are lots of fun.[/quote]

Sleepovers are fun for the kids.  I wouldn't say that they are necessarily fun for the parents, though.  They are work and you host them because you want the kids to have fun but I can not imagine this being an every weekend thing.  Quarterly is about the most I can do.[/quote]
