"Playdates" maybe sounds more formal than what we were doing, which was regularly convening after school and on weekends for low-stakes casual fun that our parents didn't aggressively manage. My kids do that much, much less. So I have to ask: where the heck have all the playdates gone?
And then there are the packed schedules. My kids are older, and there's been an enormous increase in organized activities like basketball.
