[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not lame to make playdates for a 5th grader. All the arrangements I know of are made by parents. OP, it's just that you need to make them a little further in advance. Ask your child who she'd like to play with on the half days, and then see if you can arrange to have that girl over (if you have a nanny or babysitter who will be there.) It's hard. I am a SAHM, so I can't complain. But I see that many of the working moms just somehow in the middle of their workday will send an email to arrange a playdate for their kid.[/quote]

But working moms have to lay the ground work by having relationship with other family. Look at the sleepover thread; parents have to have some relationship other than random middle of the day email. Also, that working mom will have to reciprocate play dates and they can take considerable planning and coordination. But it's these after school or holiday play dates that cement kids friendships st this age. Especially daughters.

Out of curiousity, these moms arranging play dates from work -- do they work part time?  [/quote]
