[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know several families who were scrambling yesterday because their younger child's daycare was open but their older child's school was not, and would have been thrilled at the suggestion of a playdate with an only child friend. I also know one SAHM of an only who hosted FIVE kids at her house yesterday because she didn't have to work and they have a huge basement with lots of activities for kids and a yard with a slope for mini-sledding. So she just provided a bunch of neighborhood families with free childcare for the day. I'm sure at least part of her motivation was for her own kid to have someone to play with, but I can't imagine being mad at someone for offering to watch your kid all day.[/quote]

That’s so nice! As a working mom of 3 I am always so grateful for the SAH and PT moms (and only child moms) that I’m friends with who will host my kid(s) or offer rides when they know it will help me out during the week.

I always try to reciprocate on weekends (or by hosting on early release days when I have to take off work anyway).

These weird I hate parents of only children, or SAHMs, or moms of 3+ threads are bizarre. It’s like people have one bad experience with someone and then extrapolate it to being a “trend” amongst all families of that demographic.

Also, who gets upset over a text about a play date on a snow day. It’s not that deep.  [/quote]
