I actually had this happen last weekend. We'd invited one of our son's classmates to come over & play in our inflatable pool. When the parents arrived, they had 4 children get out of their car dressed in swimsuits with towels over their shoulders. When I said something, I was told that they'd already bought tickets to see a specific movie & thought since I'd already be watching 1 child that I could watch the other 3 as well. They were shocked when I said no because I wasn't prepared to have 3 additional kids in my house for 3-4hrs. Thankfully, they let the child we'd invited stay but said they'd have to reevaluate our kids friendship since I wasn't a team player

I wish playdates could be kids only. I have no trouble entertaining my 5 yr old and a friend. I hate having to make small talk and host the parent as well. Can’t wait until he’s older and friends can just be dropped off lol.

so I don't have kids my question is for playdates what's the etiquette for the parent do you stay for the whole play date do you just drop your kid off for the play date does it depend on who the play date is with

I had this happen, only it was a sleepover. The parents showed up with both their kids even though only the daughter was invited.

A mom tried this with me once and I just said “I wouldn’t watch another kid even if I was paid,much less for FREE” then laughed and walked away to play with my kid. She stood there a minute then put her stuff down. Suddenly she could stay🤷🏼♀️
