[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm with you OP. So hard for kids to have spontaneous play dates on weekends bc kids as young as 5 are so over scheduled! Like hello please stop freaking out about your kids resume and start letting them have a childhood[/quote] I’m a SAHM of 3 kids. Weekends we hang out with family and family friends. We hang out with our adult friends with kids. During the 5 and under years, that was when we socialized the most with friends. I have been a working mom with young kids and a SAHM with young kids. My okdest is now 14 and youngest is 7. My 7yo is plenty available for play dates. We are often busy with older siblings. If someone invited her to a play date, she could go but other parents themselves are busy as are we. Both my older kids had friends over yesterday. Both older kids are very very busy and still hang out more than my 7yo. It isn’t about being too busy. It is about parent coordination. My 7yo does activities but they are like one hour.[/quote]
