Just that really. Obviously covid has made it more difficult but even before then it didn’t happen often.
DS has autism which makes it more difficult and he’s not really interested anyway. Dd only started school last year and didn’t have any play dates as such but we’d often see her friends at the local park etc. Then covid happened..
Dd’s teacher asked if we managed to do any play dates with her friends etc
I told her not really because of covid and we don’t know many people with young children. She seemed disappointed.
My children don’t have any cousins or anything as we are only ones to have kids so far.
She sees all her friends at school, she often sees them at the park. Is it really that bad she doesn’t have play dates?! Given the current times to?
What is she implying? That my daughter is going to miss out if she doesn’t?
DS’s closest friend has a mum who is extremely anxious about the virus so that won’t happen! She has another friend who lives on the street and sometimes we go for a walk with her.
My children are not able to play out alone.
I remember my mum always asking who I wanted around for tea. Honestly I didn’t want anyone around. I like my own company 🤦♀️ And hated going to other people’s houses. Still do!
Dd is very sociable. Has no issues with socialising so what’s the need of regular play dates?
