It was interesting...but definitely less chatty than when the play dates are with other moms. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-go-on-playdates-with-parents-that-are-the-opposite-sex#post-1293083 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 23:05:19 +0000 luckypenny 1293083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would but I don't know any SAHDs and I don't really like any of my friends husbands...is that terrible? They're all just really socially awkward/nerdy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-go-on-playdates-with-parents-that-are-the-opposite-sex#post-1293036 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 22:52:42 +0000 yoursilverlining 1293036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not yet, only because we don't really have many parent friends yet. I would though, my best friend is a guy and my husbands best friend is a gal so we don't have any gender hangups. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-go-on-playdates-with-parents-that-are-the-opposite-sex#post-1292974 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 22:26:10 +0000 sandy 1292974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only have one Dad friend that I see about once a month.

We do play dates after school and I don't know any SAHDs or guys who have off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-go-on-playdates-with-parents-that-are-the-opposite-sex#post-1292888 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 22:00:55 +0000 Corduroy 1292888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't but DH does. He doesn't work Fridays so he's initiated playfates with some of our SAHM long time friends. He hasn't gotten together with anyone from my moms' group (including other dads) even though I suggested it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-go-on-playdates-with-parents-that-are-the-opposite-sex#post-1292833 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 21:42:33 +0000 mrbee 1292833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The other day, I took the kids to a playdate with the mom of two other kids. Bee was going to join me, but she ended up having to stay home to clean for some guests we were having later in the day! It's a long time friend that we both know really well though, so it was totally comfortable.</p> <p>Personally, I'm comfortable going on playdates with opposite sex parents, but only if the SO is also comfortable with it. If they are threatened by my rugged charm and good looks though, then I will respect that (kidding!).</p> <p>Do you ever go on playdates with parents that are the opposite sex? </p>
