[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't expect that, but if it comes up again and your kid will truly be fine without you, ask a parent you're friendly with who is staying if they wouldn't mind keeping an eye on your kid too and offer to reciprocate at another party.[/quote]

+1.  Children mature at different rates.  I no longer host birthday parties because the [b]parents of the most difficult kids drop and run.[/b]  We do trips for birthdays now.[/quote]

This is so true. I try to be inclusive (and we are relatively new to a community that's all been together going back to preK or even earlier), but man the difficult kids that I secretly don't want to invite anyway are the worst guests:

1) RSVP yes and skip
2) RSVP yes 1-2 days before
3) Drop at the door and run away
4) Give used or clearly regifted presents (which I'd be fine with if family seemed lower end to average of income, but looking at how they present themselves, doesn't seem to be the case; they just wanted to give a thoughtless gift)

We will probably stick with all class or all-gender parties anyway, just to build up more social ties for my kid, but sheesh. [/quote]
