Parents Dish The Dirt On Their Worst Ever Playdate Experiences

We’ve all had that one playdate that still brings us out in sweats – but the likelihood is it was nowhere near as bad as some of these...One parent recently divulged on Mumsnet that their nine-year-old son had been playing at his mate’s house recently, having a jolly old time.But he returned home “covered in what I can only assume is dog shit”.The horrified mum said their beloved child came home covered in a mysterious and stinky substance – we’re talking on his shoes, trousers, t-shirt and even in his hair. “It doesn’t even smell like normal dog shit. It is very cheesy in smell and it’s all over him. He reeked,” said the grossed-out mum.“He said he spent time playing in the garden, but who lets kids play in a dog shit covered garden?! FFS!”Thankfully it was nothing a good bath and sticking his clothes on a hot wash couldn’t sort. But it prompted her to ask for other parents to share their playdate horror stories... And they did not hold back.The police bust“Called by a stranger to pick oldest DD [dear daughter] up from her friends house 5am one Sunday morning. They’d been raided by the police for money laundering.” – RegardingMary The muck spreader“Went to a kids party (I think it was a 3rd) where the birthday girl “had an accident” (#2) on the floor and another kid walked through it and spread it halfway down the hallway. Grim.” – user2848502016We never made it past the hallway“Took my toddler to a play date. Another mum was there as well and we all sat on the stairs while the children played in the small hallway of the house.” – RocknrollstarThe A&E disaster“We took a 5yo friend to the playground, she jumped off the 2ft climbing frame...broke her leg.” – BusWankersThe multi-level marketing pitch“I walked into an MLM pitch for a thermomix about 10 years ago. A random mum I met invited me and dd [dear daughter] round and then spent 2 hours talking about and using her thermomix before saying it’s only £1000! The poor toddlers were left to it.” – RedstripeAlias “Play date where the Mum tried to sell me a MLM. Very pushy. Something to do with Aloe Vera ... She practically took me hostage!” – violetpink The mess-maker“Worst playdate was dd’s friend who pulled every piece of clothing off all hangers and out of drawers. She also emptied every single box she could find e.g. game boxes and boxes of stuff, in the middle of the bedroom floor. When her mum came upstairs she just smiled and said that it was nice they were having a good time?!!! I said there was a big mess and could they both help put some back? They suddenly had to leave! Never invited them back again!” – GAJLYThe unruly dog“My daughter was at her friend’s and their dog jumped up and clawed her tummy and chest and pushed her over. The dad said it’s the dog’s house not hers so he can do what he wants. Needless to say she never went back.” – HorseyWoman The haircut“DD came home from a play date having had her ponytail cut off by the friend!” – MydoglovescheeseThe F-bomb“When the four year child at my house on a play date’s car came off the Hot Wheels track he said, “God’s sake!”, only to be corrected by my four year old who said, “No. it’s fuck’s sake!”. 😱 we had no idea where he had heard that from.” – FortuneFadedThe drawer launcher“I had a few toddlers over with their mums once and they were. All over the house, mostly having a nice time until one mum and toddler went into my DS [dear son] bedroom and for an unknown reason took a drawer out and threw the whole thing over the bannister and it came crashing down the stairs, contents and all, marking the wall in my brand new house, and breaking the drawer. The mother was unconcerned like it was normal.” – d317The babysitter“Another mum from our baby group invited us for an afternoon play date. She and I each had a 2yo and a baby. I assumed we would supervise the 2yos playing, have a chat, and parent our own babies. She left me in the lounge with all 4 kids whilst she disappeared into the kitchen to make a fish pie from scratch for her family’s dinner.” – ThatsCuteThe teacher CC“My worst was when I sent my child to what I thought was a friend down the street (we literally lived 800ft away from each other) and she emailed me and copied in our kids’ teacher to say I’d sent my child to hers without a coat. Anyway, I took that bitch down. That’s all you need to know.” – EconomyClassRockstarRelated...I Grew Up With ADHD – This Is The Worst Thing You Can Do To A Neurodivergent Kid'Only One Of My Twins Was Invited To A Kid's Birthday Party.
