Kid begging for playdate with kid of bitchIhate.....

[BunnyMacDougal]

So I know this is stoopid.  I'll do whatever gets offered/agreed upon and put differences aside.

But this little girl's mom is just a douchenozzle.  When C said her daughter's name, I though "oh no".   Yesterday the two girlies, C and "S", came out of camp together talking about a playdate "Friday".  The grandmother picked up S, so the mom wasn't around to hear it.  The grandmother is a nice lady, maybe the mom can be tolerable to some degree.

Playdates aren't drop-off events yet.  I want my daughter to have a playdate with a friend, but I don't waaaannnnnaaaa hang out with the mother..  


Woe is me.

Oooooooooh. I just suffered through a playdate Sunday with a woman that I find incredibly annoying. I kept looking at my watch. Playdates became drop-offs around age 4 with Anna, I am hoping I can manage that earlier with Sophia. I can't deal with the moms, lol. Well, except two of her little friends who are my friends' daughters.

I have this issue. I can't hang out with the mom of Logan's best friend. She's cray cray. And the mom I'd love to hang out with has a very aggressive kid and Logan doesn't really like him

Papie, YES! My friends' daughters are such a relief. I have three friends with daughters Cecile's age. So glad for them. This'll be my first "suffer through" playdate. Thankfully a few of the ballet-friends' moms are nice women. Not friends per se, but we get along fine.

My 10 year old is friends with a kid who has a mom I can't stand. I work in the same building as her. We set up play dates when the kid is with his dad. I will not/am not dealing with mom any more than I already do. She just isn't a nice person, and I really don't care. There are a ton of other kids to play with that have nice moms. And I am at the drop off stage.

I am a really horrid mom.

How old is C?  She has one friend from school who lives in our neighborhood and we do drop off playdates. The kids know us (the parents) well and each other and it goes well. Or maybe meet up at a playground so it's not like you are trapped at a house.

Ugh, that sucks.
No one wants to spend their time with a crazy person. Think of something more interesting for dd to do and maybe she will forget she wants to hang out with this kid? lol

Douchenozzle: Refuses to talk, not only to me but to really anyone, at preschool pick-up/events. Makes idiotic comments which always sound so snobby as uttered rhetorically (not addressed to anyone, mind you).

example: "This guy is supposed to be playing music!" Said within earshot of lots of fellow parents but not addressed to anyone. It was about a guy who volunteered to play piano for the kid's fundraising event for the kids to dance after they'd made shakers. He was taking a break while a new batch of kids made shakers. Was helping his son set up to play guitar along with him. Kid of about ten. She spouts out her criticism like "am i right?", and then acted oblivious when no one chimed in.

I knew her in junior league too. Ass-kisser extraordinaire in that setting. And haaaaaad to be chair of every project and had allllll the best ideas. DOUCHENOZZLE.

Sorry, that sucks.

Fortunately my kids' only friends are my friends' kids. I'm dreading the day when they want playdates outside my friend circle.

Me too.  I'm thinking "Good Lord, they get to pick the kids they want to hang out with?".  He's going to want to bring people home he meets at school??? lol

We plan to send her to the school at our church, where many of the kids (and families) we all ready know.  I take comfort in that

Maybe suggest going to a park or something for the playdate so there are lots of distractions and you don't just have to sit and have one on one conversations with her like you would if the playdate was at home. If she says something annoying, you go push your dd on the swings. Come back a few minutes later, make small talk. Then do a lap around the playground. You get the idea ...

Yep. I went to his two preschool bestie's bday parties trying to be a good sport, and they were awful. Awful!

[EmilieMadison]

I only plan/accept playdates with kids who's parents I like. Even if they're drop offs. SO THERE!

[eddy]

I am terrible because I refuse to sit through that nonsense. I would just continue to lie through my teeth to my kid about the other kid's availability and our availability.
