The Playdate Invoice: A Controversial Approach to Parenting and Friendship

I’ve just had this invoice through from another mom trying to charge me money for my daughter to play with her daughter. Like a play? A playdate and. Hello? Hi. Is this, um, Miss Groves? Yeah. Yeah, so I’ve had an invoice through. My Jenny is. Has been playing with your daughter and it’s come through shortly after. It’s per hour. £100 per hour. That’s the invoice and, um, the amounts due. So you’re charging people to play with your daughter, is that correct? Yeah, absolutely. It’s my time. And I’m not a traditional wife, you know, I don’t stay at home. I have a career. So if you want me to look after your daughter is. There is a cost to that. I have spoke to other mums as well and this is never been an issue. Yeah, yeah, it’s never been an issue before. Like when my Jenny has been to play with her kids. Your daughter isn’t as. Oh, she doesn’t look like my daughter, does she? And she does have difficulty making friends. So in order for you to help your child a lot more and you wanted to hang around with the most popular girl in school, then you gonna have to pay for that. I’m. I’m sorry, but I think you’ve said some really insulting things that I don’t quite agree with. I don’t think it’s. It’s morally right to comfort my child. Let’s not beat about the bush, right? No.
