[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess I was keeping an eye out for everything - SES, education of parents, behavior of parents, cleanliness of the house, if they have pitbulls or other aggressive  dogs, gun owners, smell of weed, smokers, pets in the house,   play area, what kind of hosts and guests are they etc.

Normally, when kids were little, I invited a couple children and their mothers at our house to hang out first. I would get a good sense of the family and the kids by observing them.

In my culture, we do not usually let kids go alone in someone else's home, nor do we have a culture of just one-on-one playdate. Infact, the playdates are mainly, the more the merrier.

You call a few kids and their moms over at your house.  Kids play together and also have one supervised activity, eat snacks and then go home.  Moms are hosted with coffee and munchies. They also keep an eye on the behavior of their child in the group.  Everyone must be inclusive and nice to each other.  [/quote]

Way too judgmental.  Your culture doesn’t mesh with American culture and I would have no interest in going to your house.    [/quote]
