[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It would never occur to me to stay and clean up. I wouldn't expect anyone else to, if I was hosting.

Its like dinners in our circle- hosts do meal prep and clean up. We take turns to host. No one minds.[/quote]

Then expect to not get invited back that often. You have an unusual group if no one helps clean up after a play date ever.

In addition, it sounds like you have reciprocal events, where you can each benefit from the no-prep/no-clean rule. This woman has never hosted, but comes EVERY WEEK for this play date.[/quote]

I guess we are unusual :)
Of course, if I'm at a play date/ party and I see others helping clean up, I will too....it would just not occur to me that it was expected
all I'm saying is, DC is full of a mix of people from different backgrounds and cultures. I wouldn't assume or label someone. If you want her to help, just ask her to help.[/quote]

OP said that the other mothers help clean up.

But even in your unusual group,  you would leave your kid's fingerpaintings on the table and not even ask your child to put the toy she had in her hand away? [/quote]
