I don't run after the LO unless she is doing something she isn't suppose to. So just watching the parents run around is tiring and not "fun"! </p> heffalump on "Do you have fun on play dates yourself?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-fun-on-play-dates-yourself#post-73240 Sun, 12 Feb 2012 15:47:19 +0000 heffalump 73240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right now play dates are more for my entertainment then lo's,since she's too little to play. </p> mrbee on "Do you have fun on play dates yourself?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-fun-on-play-dates-yourself#post-73236 Sun, 12 Feb 2012 15:39:48 +0000 mrbee 73236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I found play dates to be exhausting at first. But they got so much more fun once Charlie could run away safely on his own! </p> Andrea on "Do you have fun on play dates yourself?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-fun-on-play-dates-yourself#post-73226 Sun, 12 Feb 2012 15:19:27 +0000 Andrea 73226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For me it's a mixed bag. I like to see how my LO interacts with other kids. But I think a lot of my friends are helicopter parents and having play dates with them is exhausting. I think maybe it will be more fun when our LO's are older? Hope so! </p>
