The kids have been on school holiday for the last week, and Bradley’s social life has been hectic! Poor Connor has stayed at home, while his brother has been jolling with buddies.
The reason I say playdates are over… well I was informed this week, that I can no longer call friends days playdates… they’re now to be called “Hang-outs”
I’m clearly no longer in the realm of little kids, I’m now squarely in the midstΒ of pre-teens and teens.
So today, I was pleased when Connor’s friend came over for a “hangout”… while Bradley went to another hangout with his friends. The younger boys played and swam and had a ball on Xbox.
Am I the last mom to know this is what friend get-togethers are to be called now? Some times I wonder whether I’ve stopped paying attention to changing terms LOL!
PS. I need to tell you about this awesome hangout that Bradley went to this week. He was invited to spend the day with his friend and 4 other boys at the friends house. The clever mom organised a water slide, and they spent the day outside on that, and playing table tennis and swimming… with boerie rolls for lunch! I thought it was fabulous… and not more expensive than taking the kids to the movies! A much better idea than spending the days indoors π
I love this. Still enjoying Play dates with my 9 month old and hoping to call them just that for a few more years π
Enjoy the playdates while they last π at least you’ll know what to start calling them once it’s clear that the kids playing stage is over.
Yup. We’re there, too. I still find myself catching my breath every so often at how quickly we got here!
Lol, you had me worried, I thought that something had replaced socialising π
Could you imagine?! Lol that would be awful
“hang-outs” are noted !!! Thanks for keeping me up to date π
Ai, we also have an older one with a hectic social life – and the boys are at home…
Connor is surprisingly ok with it… At least your boys have each other for company
Thanks for the update! π Now we know what to call it!
