We've all had them: the playdate that goes horribly wrong. Mine was when the girls were small. I thought it would be fun to invite two little girls from preschool over to play. That's two little girls, plus the three I already had. FIVE. Under five. It would have been fine but one of the little girls didn't like what I made for dinner (fish sticks, usually a good choice, but obviously not in this case). I offered her macaroni and cheese. No thank you. Plain pasta? No, my mother always makes chicken sandwiches. Sorry I don't have any chicken. How about ham? My mother says it has too much salt. Your mum's right, but that's all I have. Uugghhh. So ladies (and the two dads that read this blog), what's your worst playdate nightmare?
