[QUOTE="AllStressedOut, post: 55541, member: 3837"] I actually enjoy more, because they have built in playmates. I like having friends kids over because it keeps mine from killing eachother. Funny story...well, really awful story if you think about it...I had my stepsister over with her kids who are homeschooled as well as a friends kids over. We've been friends for years, thank god or I think this would have caused serious problems. But I guess my stepsister (new stepsister in the last year) doesn't really get her kids out much around other kids...and her 10 year old son starting referring to my friends son as "the brown boy" (hes black)....OMG I was so embarrassed. Finally my other friend who was here laid into him because my stepsister wasn't saying anything to him about how offensive that is. Since this happened we haven't had anymore playdates with my stepsister. I was mortified. Its funny now, but it wouldn't have been if my friend had been seriously offended. Its a good thing her and I know eachother well enough that this can be funny and not offensive. Playdates are interesting here for sure! [/QUOTE]
