That way I can easily put her down for a nap if she needs it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-prefer-hosting-playdates-or-going-over-to-someone-elses-house#post-1427184 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 08:01:40 +0000 erwoo 1427184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd prefer not at our house but have had a couple since moving here. I miss having a huge basement and their moon bounce. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-prefer-hosting-playdates-or-going-over-to-someone-elses-house#post-1427151 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 06:37:54 +0000 Andrea 1427151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hosting. My house is baby proofed to our needs so it's a lot easier at this age until my baby is older. She can wander our house and I know it's safe so I can have a bit more fun, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-prefer-hosting-playdates-or-going-over-to-someone-elses-house#post-1427150 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 06:31:56 +0000 Cherrybee 1427150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hosting. I love having people over! </p> <p>Hosting is also easier because I don't have to pack a huge bag full of all her bottles/snacks/clothes etc and lug it out to the car, I don't have to baby-wrestle to get her ready and out of the house and I don't have to listen to her scream in the car seat! Plus I have everything at my disposal here! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-prefer-hosting-playdates-or-going-over-to-someone-elses-house#post-1427139 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 04:40:17 +0000 illumina 1427139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both have their advantages--if we go to someone else house I don't have to worry about being "on" the whole time nor do I have to make sure the house is spotless beforehand. Though if we stay home she gets to nap in her cot when she's ready and it's not such a pain to rush to get out of the house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-prefer-hosting-playdates-or-going-over-to-someone-elses-house#post-1427134 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 03:58:09 +0000 Mrs. Chipmunk 1427134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hosting! it's pain to get her ready to go, and then it's easy to let her keep napping if it's in the middle of a nap </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-prefer-hosting-playdates-or-going-over-to-someone-elses-house#post-1427130 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 03:37:04 +0000 sandy 1427130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We alternate and I like that. I wouldn't want to host every time and I like hosting when it's our turn. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-prefer-hosting-playdates-or-going-over-to-someone-elses-house#post-1427111 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 01:46:54 +0000 MrsB2012 1427111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Going to friends. Our house isn't baby proofed yet as B isn't mobile. It makes me anxious when there are kids playing in my house as I don't want them to get hurt. We also don't have many toys and stuff to entertain if the kids are a little older. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-prefer-hosting-playdates-or-going-over-to-someone-elses-house#post-1427023 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 23:45:26 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1427023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We prefer hosting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-prefer-hosting-playdates-or-going-over-to-someone-elses-house#post-1426989 Sat, 15 Feb 2014 23:04:18 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1426989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I prefer to go over to someone else's house because it's more fun for our kids than staying home! But we usually do 50/50 with our regular playdate friends.</p> <p>What about you? </p>
