  • What do you think of moms who will not leave after the playdate. DS is 18 months he was having a playdate with another child. I told the mom that my son takes his nap and it took 30 minutes to get her sh*t together. All she had to do was put the childs coat and sneakers on. She also knows that my son naps at this time so its no surprise. I felt like I was kicking her out but then again I really do not care. If it was her kid she probably would have me flying out the door.

      • her kid was there. She is just a slow person. It takes her 15 minutes to change a diaper. I don;t care though. When my child goes to bed I want everyone out.

        • You sound very hostile toward her. Maybe playdates should not be part of your world.

          • 18 mo is a little young for them unless it is with good friends, and from your hostility it doesn't sound like you are good friends

          • Maybe I am hostile towards her bc she is very rude when things affect her schedule. I do playdates all the time but I think its really rude to stick around when it is very clear that my child is ready to go to bed. I think I am just the type of person who does things quickly. When I need to go and do something db is ready in 5 minutes. For her it takes 30 minutes to get a jacket and shoes on each time.

        • I hate slow people. Just sit your kid down and put the coat on that is all. This is my pet peeve too.

        • I am you. Hate when people overstay their welcome! Makes me nuts - impossible to get my dcs to go to bed when guests are not out the door. I am always accused of being rude though.

    • I like this post. I have also been the victim of a never-ending playdate. What do you think the appropriate amount of time for a playdate should be?

    • That's a pain in the ass for sure. Don't invite her over again. Meet in the park or at her place next time.
