Is this a demographic thing, or a generation thing?

Yeah it bugs me too. And I think it is both demographics and generation. When I was growing up my mom did not have to schedule my play time.

No one I know around here uses the term 'playdate' it's just "can so-and-so come over and play" here as well. I don't like it either Liz.

It sounds kind of funky to me too. Too adult, I guess. Dates are for grown ups to me. Those girls sound very materialistic, Liz. Don't girls usually read Tigar Beat and giggle a lot?

Working as a nanny and in an upscale church nursery I heard the term "playdate" used all the time but it isn't a term I could ever see myself using in real life.

Oh and having a daughter right around that age, I can tell you that your average 10 year old girl does have conversations about how cute so-and-so is, which girl is the meanest at school, or what the best Hillary Duff song is right now.

Are you guys NUTS, Scott was the real honey

And neither my children or myself has ever had a 'playdate' and we never will

We either went and "played at ............ house/the park/the school" or we just "hung out with...."
