[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find most of the replies you got off OP. I’m more like you though.

1. 7 is firmly drop off age though so if you are still doing parented play dates that’s an issue.

2. When my kids had play dates it was a chance for the kid having the guest to have their friend over and I did something with the other kid to keep them out of the friends’ hair. We did not have them all the time but this was my take.

3. DS had a friend with a mom like most PPs. The friend and his little sister (preschool age, 2-3 years younger than the boys) was ALWAYS glued to his hip. They were a total package deal. I liked the mom and we were neighbors so it was ok-ish but still annoying. Even if we invited him over she would come along too. [/quote]

7 is not "firmly" drop off in any social context except a very insular community where you are only friends with extended family or people you've known your whole life. Age aside, never heard of anyone dropping off a plus one sibling for a drop off play date unless the host kid was friends with both. [/quote]

Absolutely not firm.  It's for parents with multiple kids who want free babysitting.  I'd never drop off a 7 year old at a house where I didn't know the parents well.[/quote]
