I have a 7yr old & a 3yr old. We met up with friends today who both have 3yr olds. My 7yr d was in school.
It always seems like a nice idea, meet up, they play, we chat etc.
But in reality other people's toddlers really piss me off. It's fair enough that I have to deal with my own dd's 3yr oldness, not wanting to walk, whinging, walking in random directions, waving sticks about, not wanting to sit and eat, or share etc.
I really like my friends but when you have to deal with other people's kids doing it too I kinda always wish I'd just gone out on my own with dd. My friends were probably thinking the same thing!
I have a 7yr old and when we go out with friends who have dc if a similar age it is fab! They play well, entertain each other, eat well, share well.
I know in a few years my friend's 3yr olds will be a joy to be around. But atm, the reality is shit!

To think that meeting up with others who also have toddlers sounds nice, but in reality is shit?
