[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This was supposed to be our first play date . I agreed to go to her neighborhood because she stated the playground would be much nicer. I guess we'll never know. My daughter is very disappointed. 
We're rarely tardy to anything and I thought I was doing the right thing by calling. 15 min was actually an overestimation as the grocery store is 5 min from my home and the snacks we need are beside the entrance.
But as I said, I now know that a hard line is the accepted practice.[/quote]

You are right. You can never, ever go to that park again. It will forever be a mystery  :roll:

[b]The park is 30 minutes from where we live.[/b] I don't know anyone else who lives there. Not much call to go except I was trying to accommodate someone else's preference.[/quote]

Hm. Sorry to pile on, but if it's 30 minutes away from you and you weren't there yet and you still had to make a grocery run, weren't you going to be much later than 15 minutes? She was rude saying "whatever," regardless, but it sounds like she did the math and realized how late you were really going to be. Chalk it up to a bad morning, and take your kid there anyway. (Since if you were already almost there, which you must have been to be estimating only 15 minutes late (which I still doubt), why not just go and enjoy with DD?)[/quote]
