[quote=Anonymous]Ever since our kids were little, if we host a birthday party, the kids open them after their guests are gone. Thank you notes are written, etc. etc. Now my kids are in ES and we're starting to see more parties where kids sit and watch the birthday girl open presents in their presence. Thank yous are meted out right there; some follow up with cards, some do not. I'm not hung up on the thank yous. But I'm surprised by the present-opening during the party. Is this just an individual family preference/custom or does it get more prevalent as kids get older and are more likely to behave appropriately even if they're disappointed by a gift?[/quote]
