My kids have reached the age now where they have Playdates with their friends and classmates without anyone's mother looking over their shoulder watching.  It's awful.  Now I have to not only discipline my own kid, I have to discipline someone else's kid too. That's assuming I'm hosting the playdate.  I feel just as bad for the mother hosting MY kid at her house. Believe me, it's not like I think that when my kids go to their friend's house they are angels....
