I recently went on a baby play date. To my Horror, all the mums came with their helpers.. They left the babies with helpers and started having a chit chat session over food n drink :) So who was really having the play date?

Were the babies playing and having fun as well? I think having play dates also allow mummies to have some time to interact and share with one another. It may be the only chance where they get to chat with someone else other than their spouses/relatives/helper. Personally, I would think that they are also keeping an eye out for their children while taking the chance to chat with others. Play dates offer opportunities for both the caregivers and the children to have fun. :)
