anyone know what a "playdate" is? I think it has to do with children maybe

3. I cringe when I hear the word "playdate"

There is something so yuppie sounding about it.

4. Yeah, apparently kids can't just run around in the yard anymore.

Everything has to be scheduled, even playing. God forbid any child be allowed to use his or her imagination.

5. All my neighbors have their kids scheduled to the hilt

I think they're crazy. Of course, they think I'm negligent, but to each his own.

6. Just read a cute book - not too sophisticated, but a fun read

7. The "play date" concept

is offensive to me We are raising little robots

8. Play dates are more for the moms than the kids.

They like to gather and gossip under the guise of the kids playing together (which they indeed do)

9. It may sound awful to some, but for kids in large cities- who cannot

play on the street unsupervised- it is a good opportunity to mix with other kids in a safe, supervised environment.
