What's your worst playdate experience?

[PumpkinSly]

Aibu to ask what your worst playdate stories are (if you can still call it a play date at 9). DS has been to his friends this afternoon and has come home covered in what I can only assume is dog shit. The friend has two dogs and DS has come home with shit all over his shoes, trousers, t-shirt, and even in his hair. It doesn't even smell like normal dog shit. It is very cheesy in smell and it's all over him. He reeked. He said he spent time playing in the garden, but who lets kids play in a dog shit covered garden?! FFS! He's washed, we've cleaned the interior of the car, and his clothes are in the washing machine, so no long term damage. But I am sorely tempted to message the mother and tell her the state DS has come home in. DH thinks it's not worth it, and maybe he is right, so please, tell me your playdate nightmares to distract me.

And why the heck wasn’t she supervising young kids in her house to let all this damage occur? Being in the garden while leaving kids unsupervised in the house is just stupid. I always kept an eye on visiting kids and never had any problems. You don’t just leave kids to do whatever the heck they like in your home

My late mum always really struggled with keeping on top of housework (my dad was useless, my husband is amazing and does all the cleaning!). She had another mum who always commented on our house being messy and made her feel really incompetent.

Years later she found out that mum was a secret alcoholic and her husband was the one doing all the cleaning!

DS invited a friend to play over the summer holidays when they were going into year 5 and the friend was blooming rude. He said he wanted McDonald’s, we told him we weren’t going there so he complained. He complained about walking to the beach -15min walk, down hill. We were going to a nice cafe for lunch. The final straw was when he was rude to DS’ godfather, who was visiting, pointing out his big belly. In the end I took him and DS home for lunch instead. I had arranged to have the friend all day but I got his mum to pick him early.

I had one Friday. My son (6.5) had his friend over who he’s been mates with since nursery. His friend has always bit domineering and wants my son to himself but in small doses hes ok. So he came over on Friday, ignored my son and played with my son’s toys. Literally nothing my son asked him to do, he would do. “No I don’t want to” “no im staying here and playing with this” whilst my son went out the garden on his own.
I said sorry friend, son isn’t feeling great so I need to take you home.
Im not having my son upset out the garden, being ignored whilst his friend wants to play with his toys on his own. He won’t be coming back for a while anyway.
