[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You people are nuts saying you can’t bring a sibling to the playground.

If you have the option, I would take the older child alone, especially if it is a first play date.

I have 3 kids. I used to have 2 boys who were exactly 2 years apart. When older one started elementary, i was the one who hosted the first play dates. I was grateful that families would invite my younger son. They didn’t have to for birthdays.[/quote]

+1000. This is crazy, it is at a freaking playground. Not someone's house. Take your kid with you to the playground.[/quote]

+2000. There are a lot of uptight new moms who feel like they are the playdate police on this site. It is a playground, not somebody's house. It is fine to bring your other child. Since your husband is available, bring him along too, he can help entertain the 3 year old (or invite a friend for the 3 year old).[/quote]

DP, and try again.  I'm a seasoned mom of three and I say leave the three year old at home.  Kids want (and deserve) time to play with *their* friends, without their siblings.

I seriously don't get the issue leaving the three year old with his father.  Is his father somehow unsafe?  Incapable of entertaining the kid for a few hours?  Good lord, people.[/quote]
