'The whole point of playdates to me is for the kids to bond one on one,' she added. 'Not to mention her child is very shy so the sibling dominates.'
The mom also highlighted that none of the other parents do this.
Wondering if she's overreacting, the mom asked the forum, 'Am I being unreasonable to say the sibling shouldn't always tag along?'

'This sounds like a first child attitude and should you ever have a second you might facepalm in remembrance,' one Mumsnet user replied. ' If you want just the two of them together ask the mom to just drop and go.'
Another validated the mom's concerns, writing, 'They shouldn't be turning up with them without warning though. She should ask.'

Chris Hemsworth Drops Tease About Avengers: Doomsday, And Seemingly Confirms One Part Of Thor's Story Won't Be Included
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. The Marvel Cinematic Universe is a behemoth force in the entertainment world, one constantly putting out new content in theaters and streaming with a Disney+ subscription. Without a doubt the most anticipated upcoming Marvel movies are the next two Avengers movies, which will be directed by The Russo Brothers. Chris Hemsworth recently spoke about filming the former, and may have revealed that one beloved location won't be included in the blockbuster. What we know about Avengers: Doomsday is super limited, but it's going to feature a number of superhero teams. The Doomsday cast live stream confirmed Hemsworth is back as Thor, and the hulking actor recently spoke to Scottish Daily Express, and revealed that production seemingly isn't going to return to the country to film sequences for New Asgard. As he put it: Filming The Avengers in Scotland was a really cool experience. It doesn't look like we are coming back for Doomsday. But I'd love to not only visit there again, but to film and do more work in the country. The people are amazing. There you have it. Sounds like the Asgardians' home on Earth isn't going to factor into the mysterious action of Doomsday. This was a location that was introduced in Avengers: Endgame, since Asgard was destroyed in Thor: Ragnarok. It came back up in Love and Thunder, but it sounds like we won't see this particular setting in the next big Avengers movie. Disney+: from $9.99 a month w/ ad-supported planThe MCU's streaming home is on Disney+. Plans start at $9.99 a month for its new ad-supported plan. Go ad-free and pay $15.99 a month or save 16% and pre-pay $159.99 for a Deal Later in that same interview, the 41 year-old actor spoke more about what it was like filming in Scotland, and his desire to return for future projects. As he put it: There is something majestic about the Highlands, I'd love to do another movie there one day. It's just a place made for an iconic battle scene. The backdrop is just stunning. Well now I've got FOMO. Because while Scotland apparently isn't being used to film Avengers: Doomsday, the country seems like a perfect place to set big action sequences. If it doesn't happen in his next appearances as Thor, perhaps Hemsworth can bring other franchises like Extraction (which is streaming with a Netflix subscription) to the Highlands. Fingers crossed. Fans who spent years watching the Marvel movies in order have seen how the Asgardians lost their planet... and then faced even more losses at the hands of Thanos in Infinity War. They'e been through a lot, although they got a new King with Tessa Thompson's Valkyrie. Although since she's not listed in the Doomsday cast list, maybe that storyline won't come into play for the blockbuster. All will be revealed when Avengers: Doomsday hits theaters on December 18th, 2026. But first up is The Fantastic Four: First Steps on July 25th as part of the 2025 movie release list.

TV tonight: our highlights for Tuesday, July 15, including Mix Tape
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Here's our TV tonight picks for Tuesday, July 15 (for more information about what's on TV, see our TV Guide)... The tale of two teenage sweethearts reconnecting decades later is hardly new ground in the world of drama, yet this four-part tale portrays the excitement and intensity of those moments better than most. Told across two timelines – 1989 and 2015 – the story follows Alison (Florence Hunt / Teresa Palmer) and Daniel (Rory Walton-Smith / Jim Sturgess) as they fall for each other, only to be parted in traumatic circumstances, before getting a second chance as middle age beckons. Complete with a superb soundtrack of 1980s hits, it's a thoughtful story about the intoxicating nature of nostalgia. Continues tomorrow. Sara Pascoe hosts as the reality competition returns with 12 new contestants – a scientist, a bus driver and a lecturer among them. Patrick Grant and Esme Young are also back at the mill as the sewers tackle themes including Design Icons, Korea and the Roaring 20s. But tonight in The Sewing Bee 2025, it's all about Shape. Things begin with a difficult Pattern challenge that involves creating a tie-front blouse, while the Transformation sees the reshaping of circle skirts. Finally, someone comes undone in the Made to Measure, which tests pleating skills, and will face finishing. Countryfile pals JB Gill, Jules Hudson and Helen Skelton swap farming for an adventure around the British coastline. Tonight, while JB is in sunny Kent and Jules on Devon's Jurassic Coast, Helen finds herself in a chilly and windy Redcar in North Yorkshire. Luckily, however, she has the perfect conditions to try out land yachting, while she also gets to warm up in the UK's deepest mine where the temperature 1,100m below the sea is a balmy 35C. Meanwhile, JB hunts for leeches and Jules sets sail on a traditional Salcombe yawl. Another chance to see Si King and Dave Myers' final series, filmed in 2023 when Dave was having cancer treatment. His zest for life was so palpable that when he died as the series aired last year, it came as a huge shock to the Bikers' legion of fans. Over seven episodes, the pair travel down the west coast of the UK, starting on the Isle of Bute, trying local food and meeting the producers. It's a poignant watch and it's fitting that the two great friends' parting words at the end of the series are simply "Love you" and "Love you, too". Tonight's repeat visit to the county of Midsomer is during the Scarecrow Festival, when the body of a store owner is found in a shop window. Jessica Ellerby, real-life wife of actor Nick Hendrix (DS Winter), guest stars.
