Invited for a lunch and playdate at the home of Ds's friend, 9
How long would you normally stay, would you announce when you were leaving and would you take anything?

I'd stay a couple of hours. Wouldn't automatically take anything but I would ask if they'd like me to bring anything ahead of time

I'd try and stay for dinner to save me cooking

Why do you need to stay? They're 9 not 2.

Drop off and pick up 2 hours later is the norm.

If you are definitely invited as well I’d say 2.5 hours and yes offer if you can supply anything.

Min 90 mins, max 2 hours.

I would take cake or biscuits.
