[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  I am OK as long as there is someone else watching the child -- for example, a parent could bring a child and another classmate; I don't necessarily need one parent per child, [b]but I don't want to be the parent responsible for the child if I'm hosting the party[/b].  There was an accident at a party I was at last weekend.  It wasn't bad, but it required parental attention.

Regardless of whether or not all the parents attend, you still ARE responsible as the host.   Plus, when you get a lot of the parents together at the party, with drinks (alcoholic?) and snacks, they will not necessarily be hovering over their kid.   They will congregate and chat and ignore their kids, while the kids run wild and raise bloody hell in your living room.   If anything, requiring parents attend will just 1) increase the amount you spend on food and drinks 2) prolong the party, as parents will be chatting and don't want to leave.   With a drop off/pick up party, there is a definite end time--people tend to linger more if they've already been hanging out for a couple hours.[/quote]
