[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP you sound like a nice guy.

I did have a situation where I had to wind down playdates with the child of a SAHD because of the amount of work involved for me.  He would bring over both kids and basically ignore them. Our house wasn't toddler proofed so his younger son was always in some sort of trouble. It was always me who was pulling his toddler off the stairs or out of the drawers, not him. It was comparatively a lot more work for me.  I got the sense he was overwhelmed and exhausted, with a wife who worked very long hours. Nice guy, but I was always so tired after he left that I stopped. [/quote]

Yeah - his situation may be have a cause, but his behavior was unacceptable. You were right to stop those play dates.

No one stayed over at play dates when my kids were toddlers, my home or theirs. I was never invited to stay, and no one ever took me up on the offer. I find that weird because, growing up, everyone was over at each others homes talking and chatting while kids played. Admittedly it was all moms, but that's my reference.[/quote]
