[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have had this debate before. It's a cultural thing. WASPy people think you should skimp on food out of some bizarre sense of moral superiority of austerity, people from non-WASP cultures are horrified at lettings guests (and yes parents are gueats) be hungry. [/quote]

No, we just know the difference between kids who are guests of a party, and who should be well fed if the party is at meal time, and the parents who are dropping off and picking up.

You would be seeing different answers here if this were a toddler or preschool party.

This.  Those advocating that the parents should have been fed are basically saying that if you throw a dinner party, you are obligated to feed your guests' Uber drivers.  Absurd.  [/quote]

If the Uber driver was expected to accompany the guest into the room and stay with them the whole time then yes I would expect to feed them. This comparison makes no sense. [/quote]

Who expects a parent of a ten year old to stay?  [/quote]
Apparently the hosts of this party did, since OP says the kids were 5-10 and it was made clear it was not a drop-off party.  [/quote]

I don’t drop my kids off with strangers and would stay.  [/quote]
