[quote=Anonymous] When I host playdates, I never plan on doing more than light tasks that I can interrupt at any moment to check on the kids. The parents who choose to spend that time doing noisy stuff in far-away corners of the house or yard are completely irresponsible. In my 14 years of being a parent, I've had boys wanting to rappel from the upper floor, and nearly breaking the bannister in the process, kids making a gymnastics obstacle course in my living room, someone swinging a bat next to my crystal chandelier, and some girls that squeezed themselves into a bed drawer compartment so small I thought they were about to suffocate. This means that I am available for parents who wish to stay. Maybe I don't want them to stay, but that's another matter. I would never hint that I had other plans, because that would be rude vis-a-vis the children I'm supposed to look after! I do not think it weird that another parent wishes to stay. [/quote]
