[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would never ASSUME that a playdate would include lunch. I would pack a lunch to send with my child and then him or her eat it at the friend's home when the friend eats their lunch.

I think it is highly RUDE of a parent to pick up their child later than agreed upon. That would be the end of that person's playdates.

And yes, it is inconsiderate to never host a playdate, however perhaps the other child's home is not clean, large enough, not safe, etc.

You just never ever know.[/quote]

I would think it was pretty weird if a child shows up at my house for a scheduled play date with a lunch in a lunch box.  I mean, please.  I can feed the kids lunch if the scheduled time includes the lunch hour.[/quote]

I'd assume the kid has allergies if he brought a lunch but then I always clarify with parents if the kid should eat lunch before the playdate if it's going to be near lunchtime.  But I also always let the kids have a snack if it's not lunch.  I assume they'll eat at some point.

Definitely very rude not to pick up on time.  I wouldn't necessarily a ban a kid completely based on that. If it's one of my kids favorite friends then I just make sure to plan time when I didn't need a firm end time or tell the parent I'll drop Larla off. [/quote]
