Our weekends are so busy as-is. Usually I'll plan one if DH is busy with something else. looch on "Working moms, how often do you play date?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/working-moms-how-often-do-you-play-date#post-2472163 Wed, 24 Feb 2016 08:04:47 +0000 looch 2472163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Just a few times a year. I am hoping to do more this summer, though.

She goes to preschool for 9 hours a week plus library storytime and plays with the other kids after so I think that is enough socialization for now. Otherwise she is home with a SAHP and my inlaws see her almost every day as well. matador84 on "Working moms, how often do you play date?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/working-moms-how-often-do-you-play-date#post-2472125 Wed, 24 Feb 2016 06:38:06 +0000 matador84 2472125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Very rarely. They see the kids they are friends with everyday so weekends are family time. lamariniere on "Working moms, how often do you play date?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/working-moms-how-often-do-you-play-date#post-2472120 Wed, 24 Feb 2016 06:07:40 +0000 lamariniere 2472120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Not often...maybe once a month? FaithFertility on "Working moms, how often do you play date?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/working-moms-how-often-do-you-play-date#post-2472112 Wed, 24 Feb 2016 05:26:56 +0000 FaithFertility 2472112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Usually every other weekend! The weekends DH works we meet my friends and their kiddos somewhere! She sees her friends at her sitters so has toms of interaction with kids! She says all their names, it is so cute! sometimesshesings on "Working moms, how often do you play date?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/working-moms-how-often-do-you-play-date#post-2472110 Wed, 24 Feb 2016 04:24:38 +0000 sometimesshesings 2472110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ About once a month with friends and pretty much every weekend with cousins. LO1 also goes to preschool twice a week. I wish we got together with friends more! Raindrop on "Working moms, how often do you play date?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/working-moms-how-often-do-you-play-date#post-2471879 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 19:10:33 +0000 Raindrop 2471879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Outside of birthday parties, once every other month. But it’s with the same group of girls, so if I didn’t have them probably never! One of the girls really makes an effort for the 4 of us to get together. We are high school friends that happened to have kids the same year and still live near-ish each other (I’m the farthest though, but they make an effort to have an activity in my area once in a while). petitenoisette on "Working moms, how often do you play date?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/working-moms-how-often-do-you-play-date#post-2471871 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 19:02:27 +0000 petitenoisette 2471871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Managed one during my 6 month maternity leave! Baby girl is now turning one and we had another scheduled at one point but had to cancel due to illness. Not counting getting together with my sister & her kids, though that doesn't happen as often as I'd like either! I would like to have more but only really have one other local mom friend + weekends are family time and I don't really consider that available time for a playdate. petunia354 on "Working moms, how often do you play date?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/working-moms-how-often-do-you-play-date#post-2471822 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 17:56:24 +0000 petunia354 2471822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Never! Unless I get together with my sister and her kids, which is usually at least 1x per month Rainbow Sprinkles on "Working moms, how often do you play date?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/working-moms-how-often-do-you-play-date#post-2471797 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 17:31:54 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2471797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My husband and I work opposite schedules, so I am always home with the kids whenever he is at work (and he is home with the kids when I work), so it gives us quite a bit of time for playdates. We probably have them 1-2 times a week. (I only work 25 hours a week) MrsKoala on "Working moms, how often do you play date?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/working-moms-how-often-do-you-play-date#post-2471688 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 16:18:02 +0000 MrsKoala 2471688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ As much as I can! But we do them with my friends who have kids so it's perfect because I get to socialize with my friends and our kids get to play together! avivoca on "Working moms, how often do you play date?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/working-moms-how-often-do-you-play-date#post-2471576 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 15:25:45 +0000 avivoca 2471576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Never. We haven't been to one since last April! Maybe if I was a SAHM, we'd do it more, but all my friends with kids also work and they live a fair distance away. Mrs. High Heels on "Working moms, how often do you play date?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/working-moms-how-often-do-you-play-date#post-2471531 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 15:06:52 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 2471531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ About 2-3x a week. We have a standing Tuesday night playdate every week, then we usually get together with people on Saturdays and Sundays. catomd00 on "Working moms, how often do you play date?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/working-moms-how-often-do-you-play-date#post-2471201 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 12:23:27 +0000 catomd00 2471201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Usually once a month. I like to stay connected with my mom friends! psw27 on "Working moms, how often do you play date?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/working-moms-how-often-do-you-play-date#post-2471199 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 12:23:23 +0000 psw27 2471199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Not often - seems like the LOs are always sick lately so it doesn't happen. Plus we only have 2 friends with babies and they are way busier than us. cheert16 on "Working moms, how often do you play date?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/working-moms-how-often-do-you-play-date#post-2471197 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 12:22:23 +0000 cheert16 2471197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @winniebee: me too! :-) catlady on "Working moms, how often do you play date?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/working-moms-how-often-do-you-play-date#post-2471196 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 12:22:16 +0000 catlady 2471196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Very rarely (like once every few months). But none of our friends here have kids, so that is why. We occasionally meet up with another mom from our daycare but haven't in awhile. In the winter, we tend to hole up. Mommy Finger on "Working moms, how often do you play date?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/working-moms-how-often-do-you-play-date#post-2471188 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 12:17:49 +0000 Mommy Finger 2471188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We have one on Saturday! DS1 was always good friends with another boy and girl in his class since they were about 8 mo. This summer, the parents of the girl moved her to a different school. Since DS1 kept asking about her, I reached out to her mom and the mom of the boy to schedule a playdate for the 3 of them. We had one in December and are getting together again this weekend. I haven't made a lot of new friends since we moved to this house 2.5 years ago so it's fun for me too since I like the moms.

Probably have another one in a month or two.

We probably have a play date once every three weeks. There are usually other social functions in between. regberadaisy on "Working moms, how often do you play date?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/working-moms-how-often-do-you-play-date#post-2471142 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 11:52:21 +0000 regberadaisy 2471142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ DD1 is almost 4 and honestly it's happen less than 5x. Scheduling one with her BFF in two weekends! FX that no one gets sick! snowjewelz on "Working moms, how often do you play date?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/working-moms-how-often-do-you-play-date#post-2471138 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 11:49:34 +0000 snowjewelz 2471138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yeah, rarely since weekends are for us, family, church.. I guess she already gets built in playdates at church and when we see her cousins! Alba4 on "Working moms, how often do you play date?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/working-moms-how-often-do-you-play-date#post-2471135 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 11:47:17 +0000 Alba4 2471135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Maybe once a month-6 weeks.

He plays with kids at daycare, I've never seen the need for one. rachiecakes on "Working moms, how often do you play date?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/working-moms-how-often-do-you-play-date#post-2471131 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 11:45:56 +0000 rachiecakes 2471131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @mrsjyw: Not often. It's usually a weekend day at a museum or park when it does happen. But like you mention, between errands and visits to grandparents, it doesn't happen that often. My mother was telling me about birthday parties after school during the school week when I was little?? What? Haha, not an option here. Adira on "Working moms, how often do you play date?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/working-moms-how-often-do-you-play-date#post-2471129 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 11:45:11 +0000 Adira 2471129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Pretty much never. But they play with kids at daycare, so I'm not concerned about scheduling play dates. DillonLion on "Working moms, how often do you play date?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/working-moms-how-often-do-you-play-date#post-2471126 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 11:44:35 +0000 DillonLion 2471126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We had a super rare one planned last weekend, but the mom had to cancel b/c her babies were sick. Otherwise we just use birthday parties to see friends on weekends. It seems like there's one at least 1x a month. I have two I need to RSVP to right now! We also attend a local Hike It Baby group almost every weekend, where we hike local trails with other moms/babies. It is wonderful!
