I don't do playdates very often and each time I do them I'm reminded why I do them so seldom...
Bearing in mind I'm 33 weeks pregnant and not in the most patient of mindsets: DD is a very young 5.5 and a lot of the kids in her class are older than her by up to a year. I find that when one of them comes over she does all this baby behaviour and baby horseplay and it really grates on my nerves. I see the other child being a little crowded and irritated by it as well. Her little brother joins in as well and it just drives me insane... I don't want to hurt her feelings, just looking for tips on how to get across that this behaviour is pretty undesirable and just plain irritating...
