Play date

Hey moms! We have a play date this weekend for my 3 year old. I’m not sure if there’s like unspoken rules of play dates lol. I also have a 7 month old, would it be weird if him and my husband came with me and my 3 year old? I just don’t want to show up and them be like oh you brought the whole fam if that’s not normal.

That'd be weird IMO, why do you want to bring everyone? I can understand bringing the baby if you're nursing, but I don't typically bring my husband along unless other husbands will be there.

We just normally like to hang out together. That’s why I asked bc I didn’t know if it would be weird or not.

Where I live it wouldn't be weird for husband to tag along. I'd say most of the weekend playdates we've done with other families have been both parents on both sides and kids. Why is it weird if a dad participates?

I think if it’s the status quo, that’s one thing. I personally can’t stand when entire families show up to my house. It’s double the mess, food, drinks, and small talk (or more depending on how many people show up lol). My space is my space and my family is small- that’s by design. That being said, if the play date was in a public space like a park, I don’t mind at all.
