Shall I go to soft play

She's not 2 so auntie will be crawling round with her. And I may be too. I have dug out my earphones in case of retreat to the cafe.

Hope you have a lovely time 🤗💐

Soft play breaks my ears, but if it gave me the chance to spend time with loved ones for a couple of hours, then I'd absolutely go! X

How old is the child? I had many a peaceful coffee when my two were in soft play within sight.

I have said yes - everone is right and I can do my jobs later in the evening. (I'm still working ft so they do have to get done)

Do go , you might enjoy it !

Some of the best fun I had with my grandchildren was crawling around in soft play centres. My 2 oldest are teens now and I still go. I’m too decrepit for the crawling and climbing now but I love watching the 2 teen grandchildren doing the course with their 2 little cousins.

You thought you wouldn’t see anyone for Mother’s Day and now you’ve been invited out. I think you should get yourself ready and off you go. You can sit and have a coffee and watch the younger generation enjoy themselves. Life is too short to miss out on such opportunities. You’ll have plenty of other days to sit at home.

and I can share seeing my gc play with her auntie. (Other daughter will be out, hence babysitting)

I completely share your views about soft play! In a situation like this however I would definitely go. You can just watch and maybe retreat to the cafe if it all gets too much. Hopefully watching a child having fun will give you pleasure. We need to grasp these opportunities to spend time with family with both hands. Don’t overthink this. It’s just an afternoon out.

Thaanks. Thats what I was thinking I should probably do. I try not to drop everything whenever the chance is offered, because you need your own interests.

Quick thought came to me - I do many activities with grandchildren that I wouldn’t have chosen. It’s entirely up to you but it seems like an opportunity to share something

There are lots of people on here who don't get the chance to see their children and grandchildren at all.

Life is about give and take. Give a little and go!
