BAC - this is all on you. 4 hours was always going to be plenty for 3-year-olds to play. Especially knowing that the playdate portion of your day was going to be consumed with you and your wife having to hang out with people you dislike, you should've - even without considering the shitshow that would be the hosts offering dinner - made committed plans for your family to have its own time thereafter without those people. You needed to have a 6 or 6:30 reservation (or at least your own commitment to be there) at a restaurant that is great for your wife and that your kid would be excited to go to, no matter where the playdate stood. Not sure of the geography, but it could've even been a new place or something that you wouldn't go to often b/c it's out by the cheapskates' fancy neighborhood.
It didn't need to be a split-second decision when the hosts engaged their pizza plot.
