[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please don't bring your other child to a playdate.  I have an only and this is a pet peeve of mine.  If I arrange a playdate, I want your kid to have one on one time with my child and not to have the tag along sibling interfering with that interaction or for the two siblings to start playing together and exclude my child.  It's highly annoying.  I don't understand why people can't see that.[/quote]

This is the reason I'm reluctant to encourage friendships with only children. Parents who must curate every experience perfectly and precisely so that they receive the most benefit possible are too uptight for me.[/quote]

This has nothing to do with only children or parents of only children. Why do so many parents assume that all of their kids are invited to every social function? Sometimes things are clearly for the whole family but there is nothing wrong with the oldest child being invited for a solo outing. Once the kids hit drop off age this becomes a moot point anyway. But some of these threads lately show that many people around DCUM are in for a huge adjustment when their kids become school aged. [/quote]
