To think my child shouldn't come back from a playdate covered in mud and pooh?

[valleysprincess]

I have name changed for this as it's awkward. I dropped my dd and ds off at a friends house today for a playdate along with some with Bob the Builder DVD's and games for them to play. It would seem that rather than stick the agreed schedule my friend involved them in 'games' consisting of shovelling horse pooh and washing some of the filthiest dogs you can imagine. According to ds she also had made a list of things for them to find in the garden which included worms and bees and dd presented me with her lunchbox containing bugs when I arrived! Obviously that lunchbox is now in the bin. Both children were covered in mud and something which smells like horse/cow manure and I have spent the last hour trying to untangle dd's hair.

Considering the amount of germs which lie in manure and on dogs AIBU to be annoyed?

I wanna go!!!!! Sounds like great fun, DS and DH would love it too. It could help bring on my labour too, mucking out horses.

I am paying £20 tomorrow for my DD to get covered in horse poo and doggy slobber at the stables.

SOunds like a bloody brilliant playdate.

this is obviously a hoax

do not want to share the planet with such a freak if it isn't, imagine having that sort of attitude?

Aww I can't believe the OP has not returned with more information or at the very least a grid reference to the friend's place!!

If your child was covered in the Americanised Disney Pooh, then YANBU

OrmIrian - I'm paying £20 on Sun for the same priviledge! I want to go!

Sounds like the kids had a great time! my DS2 would have been in heaven!

But ... whispers I would have thrown the packed lunch box away too after telling the kids how great their collection etc was of course.

This must be a wind up! It's november I think youd probably have a fair time trying to find a bloody bee. Maybe I am wrong but surely not?

Washing dogs is fun with all the splashing etc my DS loves helping with ours, germs rarely kill anyone BTW and how is a child supposed to build up immunity if you wont let him, also with the poo thing maybe wouldnt be so pleased about that TBH but aslong as she didnt eat it she should be fine although I kind of agree with you on that.

Much much better than DVD's I say sounds like great fun!!!

YABU. That sounds like a wonderful afternoon. Children love to get dirty and do stuff that this mother arranged. I.ve nevee heard of having a schedule at a playdate.

op sounds like ocd(obbsesive compulsive disorder),ive got it and without meds i would have freaked out the same way, heck iv threw things away because theyve been "contaminated" by other people touching them never mind dc covered in mud! but speaking as someone who is "as nutty as squirrel shit",have a heart and stop being so bloody nasty to the op.DONT THINK SHES A TROLL, just different ,world would be borring if we were all the same. op just needs some understanding,and meds .i do agree that the dirt wont harm the dc,>>
