[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First graders don't want three-year olds hanging around with them when they're with their friends. I'd also be annoyed if I were the other mom and you spent the whole time chasing after your three-year old and I spend the whole time watching the first graders. Let the three-year old do something with his dad![/quote]

[b]There will be other kids on the playground besides the two first graders.  Including other 3 yr olds.  [/b]The 3 yr old doesn't need to be chased and will find something or play on or something to do.  This is a complete non-issue.  Bring the kid[/quote]

You don't see how a three-year old that is related to the first grader is going to want to play with the first grader far more than a random three-year old on the playground?

And ok, I can't think of the last time I went to a park and the moms of the three-year olds were just sitting quietly on the bench knitting...[/quote]

I have three kids.  At 3, they go off and play on the playground independently.  They find other kids, they go down slides, you don’t need to be “chasing” a 3 yr old on the playground.  [b]I highly doubt he will actually be all the interested in his sibling since there is a lot to do in a playground and other kids too.[/b]  The 3 yr old might ask for a push on a swing, but this isn’t a a big deal nor should it alter the play date at all.  You all are weird [/quote]

I think OP probably knows her toddler better than you do. From the first post: "The problem is that [b]if I bring my little one, he will definitely interrupt their playdate [/b]because he is at the stage that admires and follows his brother everywhere. He may not outrun them, so he may keep chasing after them."[/quote]

Ah, a voice of reason. Sadly, PP, the people to whom you are responding can't fathom that their 3 year old would be an issue. At all. In any way. Everyone would love to have them there. Always.  :roll: [/quote]
