[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We know several families that are one and done.  In fact, there was a little clique of them in DD's preschool.  They didn't invite her or another friend who has a younger sibling on afternoon outings -- the moms would be like "oh, we figured you couldn't come because your toddlers were napping!".  [/quote]

Sort of ridiculous they'd never ask you. I don't get offended when people decline a playdate because of a baby's nap schedule, and I'm happy to host a drop-off playdate or two to give you a break.

Thank you!!

So I do want to point out to OP that it goes both ways.  Parents of multiples get irritated by parents of onlies not understanding how we operate, too.  For example, the last time I had one of DD's preschool friends over for a playdate (too young for drop offs), she seemed irritated that I wasn't focusing on her solely because I was spending time making sure my 2 year old wasn't bothering the older kids too much.  This isn't typical, it was just that one mom, but wanted to point that out to people that moms of one can be annoying too, haha![/quote]
