[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] 1. Etiquette says you should not expect free food, except the tradition of cake (and candles and Happy Birthday song) at birthday parties. 2. At children's parties, parents should not expect food for themselves. 3. If the birthday party spans lunch or dinner, the host or hostess should provide something more substantial than cake, but again, you cannot expect it. 4. Be aware that some cultures have meals at completely different times. For example, in our country, lunch starts at 1pm and dinner at 7 or 8 pm. In Spain, it's even later. Since I've been here awhile, I know American children have lunch around noon and dinner perhaps around 6. But others may not know this. [/quote] This is so wrong. None of use should ever feel entitled to anything, but a gracious, polite host attends to all their guests. That means that you provide refreshments for everyone who attends - children and parents. It's just common courtesy. [/quote]
