V. importan...OK, here are the rules for play dates. V. important: it is a date for your child, NOT for you, no matter how much you crave adult company. Unless the host is already a friend, drop your child and go. You really must have stayed too long if the mother had to excuse herself for a nap. Most parents drop their child at the doorstep and then run off exhilarated: a kind fellow parent is giving you time to yourself - use it. Go and see 'Little Children' at the cinema, maybe!<BR/>Also, it's time to get rid of the Worzel Gummidge look. It's scary for other parents, esp mothers.<BR/>And think up a project that you are doing. Say you're writing a book on a very serous subject even if you're not. It reassures the more conservative parents, and there will be a lot of them where you are based.<BR/>I worry about you! You have chosen a difficult path. Lots of mummies can be v. boring, even for other mummies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
