Somehow, having another kid over to play with yours has become a competitive sport.
As a kid in the ‘80s, my playdates were spent in wood-paneled basements slurping juice boxes and playing Super Mario Bros. Occasionally a mom would break out some Shrinky-Dinks, but then she’d disappear, and we’d go back to cutting worms in half or sliding down the stairs head-first in a sleeping bag.Last week, my 7-year-old daughter, Nora, returned from a friend’s house armed with a homemade snow globe, puffy painted socks and warm chocolate chip cookies. This is the new normal.
So lately, I've been making up excuses when my girls ask to have a new friend over."Let's do it next Monday, OK? The cleaners come on Monday." My husband doesn't get it, butdoes. She agrees that things have gotten out of hand. “You’re not a preschool teacher, you’re not a camp counselor, it’s not a photo shoot for Better Homes and Gardens magazine,” she added.
"You can’t get into a tug of war if you don’t pick up the rope,” she said. “You get to decide what competitions you enter.”
