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.

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]

Eh, I'm happy to feed kids that come for play dates, but [b]if a kid is a really picky eater[/b], then I'd rather the parent send a lunch then me have to keep asking to find one of the few things a kid might actually eat.  It's fine.[/quote]

This.

DD daughter is off the charts picky and I do my best not to make it another mom's headache. I feed her before she goes to play dates. If she'll be there during meal hours I'll send her with lunch (unless the mom is familiar with DD's eating issues and specifically offers to feed her). I can imagine DD being in a friend's kitchen and saying "No thank you" to a long list of offered food. Ugh.[/quote]
