Another spinoff to dad at play date: do you care if your daughter is invited to play date and only the dad is home?

My mom was telling that one of her friends' kids experienced a problem where another mom didn't want her daughter to go for a play date when only the dad was home. Do you care?

I would not do a playdate with just a Dad.

If I knew the Dad, and trusted him, I would do a drop off. But I wouldn't sit and hang out with someone elses DH, unless it was a mutual frienf of me and DH.

If it's a drop off playdate, I wouldn't leave my child with any parent I didn't know, mom nor dad. If I was going to stay, I wouldn't care. I don't see the issue?

I would not leave my DC with any parent (male or female) that I didn't already know well enough.

If I knew the Dad, absolutely.

I don't have an issue. I just think it's somewhat inappropriate to hang out with someone else's husband alone like that. Even if the kids are there. Shit happens. Not saying that I would do anything. People can be inappropriate. The stories I've heard from my parents about the other parents in my old neighborhood, swinging and who was cheating on who....and so on. No need for it.

I don't hang out with men alone without the kids, so why use the kids as an excuse?

A friend of mine would do play dates with a "work from home" dad. She went to the house and the wife was there. As she was leaving to go back to work, she said "have fun hanging out with my husband." Not in a laughing manner.

And not for nothing, and I'm NOT saying he was hitting on me. But the dad at the beach commented on how I had lost a lot of weight as I'm standing there in my bathing suit. I'm not saying he was checking me out. But he noticed. And quite frankly, I'm not looking for that when I go to the beach with the girls and the kids.

YES! You said he was obviously looking if he noticed you lost weight. Would you prefer if he just looked at the ground and maybe wore blinders? He paid you a compliment. I don't mean this in a bad way but, I think you are very uncomfortable around men.

One of my good friends dh's (who I consider a good friend too) commented about my weight the last time we all went out. I took it as a compliment and never though more about it.
Seems you have a problem with other men than your dh with you or around your kids.
I.don't.get.it. as if if you are NOT interested in more than friendship, WHAT is the problem?

Seems like you have issues with men. I find your comments really bizarre. The only people who cheat and swing are the ones that want to. Are you afraid that you will cheat on your husband if you are alone with another man?

Another spinoff to dad at play date: do you care if your daughter is invited to play date and only the dad is home?

If I knew the dad, sure, I would stay and hang out. As PP have said, I would never leave my boys alone with anyone I didn't know, man or woman. As a matter of fact, just last night I dropped by my BFF's house to pick up something for my maid of honor dress- I am in her wedding in a few weeks. My kids were home with my DH, she was out to dinner with another friend. Her fiance invited me in, and when she came home he & I were sitting on the deck enjoying a beer! She didn't care, she got herself a beer and joined us! And I told DH and all he cared about was, next time we get a sitter because I want to join in and hang out too! No one was angry, no one cared. I don't see these things as a big deal at all.

No.

I was a guys-girl. All of my friends in college were guys. I learned a lot about how guys think about life and women. I can almost guarantee you that if you were "friends" with a guy, at some point, he wanted to fxcx you. It may not have lasted the entire friendship, but at some point, he did. This is what I observed.

Guys from work taught me a lot. I was the only female in an office of about 20 guys. I am not making this up. The last day I worked there, the manager gave me a going away happy hour. I was moving back to NY. The guys who were my "friends" stayed after the rest of the office headed home. This small group of guys confessed to me that they were totally into me. When I look back at it, I think about how weird the whole thing was. One guy told me about a time when he called me to see if I wanted to go to a ball game. I told him "I just got out of the shower. I'm soaking wet. Maybe next time." He confessed that it totally turned him on. Something so innocent. Someone who was supposed to be a FRIEND.

More guys from work. A married man once told me what he could do to me with his tongue. Another married man gave me a neck massage and played with my hair on the car ride home from a company outing. Another married man asked me to get into a hot tub in my bra and underwear on a company trip. Just a few examples.

While these men didn't cheat, this behavior was completely inappropriate. I was young and single at the time, and didn't realize the gravity of what was happening. Older, and slightly wiser, I like to think I'm not naive. I prefer not to put myself in an inappropriate situation. One on one with a man I barely know. I do try to avoid it. I know that I won't cheat on DH. But I also don't want to put myself in a situation where someone may be disrespected by something said or done.

Not all men are like this. I know that. I guess I have a problem with men. Or, I've just been exposed to so much, I can't put blinders up.

u told a guy i just got out of the shower i am soaking wet and u did not expect him to get turned on?? come on now

sounds to me like you were around horny guys and married sleazeballs



i am a guys girl

i live in sweat pants and a pony tail..i am the only girl on a male softball team..i met my dh playing basketball when we were kids

i would rather be at the mets game than shoe shopping..for our anny my dh got me a new hockey jersey and it was exactly what i wanted

most of my friends are guys..i am way more of a boy than a girl..always have been

none of them want to pork me,i have actually hooked most of them up with their wives

u were around a particular group of guys and got really weird things said to you

that is where this all comes from

No.

I was a guys-girl. All of my friends in college were guys. I learned a lot about how guys think about life and women. I can almost guarantee you that if you were "friends" with a guy, at some point, he wanted to fxcx you. It may not have lasted the entire friendship, but at some point, he did. This is what I observed.

Guys from work taught me a lot. I was the only female in an office of about 20 guys. I am not making this up. The last day I worked there, the manager gave me a going away happy hour. I was moving back to NY. The guys who were my "friends" stayed after the rest of the office headed home. This small group of guys confessed to me that they were totally into me. When I look back at it, I think about how weird the whole thing was. One guy told me about a time when he called me to see if I wanted to go to a ball game. I told him "I just got out of the shower. I'm soaking wet. Maybe next time." He confessed that it totally turned him on. Something so innocent. Someone who was supposed to be a FRIEND.

More guys from work. A married man once told me what he could do to me with his tongue. Another married man gave me a neck massage and played with my hair on the car ride home from a company outing. Another married man asked me to get into a hot tub in my bra and underwear on a company trip. Just a few examples.

While these men didn't cheat, this behavior was completely inappropriate. I was young and single at the time, and didn't realize the gravity of what was happening. Older, and slightly wiser, I like to think I'm not naive. I prefer not to put myself in an inappropriate situation. One on one with a man I barely know. I do try to avoid it. I know that I won't cheat on DH. But I also don't want to put myself in a situation where someone may be disrespected by something said or done.

Not all men are like this. I know that. I guess I have a problem with men. Or, I've just been exposed to so much, I can't put blinders up.



u told a guy i just got out of the shower i am soaking wet and u did not expect him to get turned on?? come on now

sounds to me like you were around horny guys and married sleazeballs



i am a guys girl

i live in sweat pants and a pony tail..i am the only girl on a male softball team..i met my dh playing basketball when we were kids

i would rather be at the mets game than shoe shopping..for our anny my dh got me a new hockey jersey and it was exactly what i wanted

most of my friends are guys..i am way more of a boy than a girl..always have been

none of them want to pork me,i have actually hooked most of them up with their wives

u were around a particular group of guys and got really weird things said to you

that is where this all comes from



Me as well. To this day, my 3 best friends in the world are guys. I can and do tell them anything, we are super close. They are like brothers to me though and we have never ever ever tried to hook up with one another, EVER. No one has made sleaze ball comments, ever. I worked in the printing industry for years, and predominantly male dominated industry...at my last printing job, aside from the receptionist, I was the ONLY female in the plant of 20 guys or so and NONE of them were ever inappropriate. Sounds like you just got stuck with a bunch of sleezeballs instead of genuinely nice guys....who do actually exist.
