You answer. She asked, you answer.
Be a grown up and use your words
whatever those are

Regardless of her words, OP doesn’t get to decide who stays at a public venue, unless she owns it.[/quote]

The public venue is kind of immaterial IMO. If the party were at OP's home, I would still have wanted to stay with my DS when he was in 2nd grade, he could be a real handful at that age. [/quote]

If your child cannot behave in a public place or at someone else's house then you should not accept an invitation.  A screaming, tantruming child ruins a party and far too many parents just smile and say, "I don't know what's gotten into him/her because most of the time they are little angels!"[/quote]

NP. This person wanted to stay SO THAT her kid would behave. She could stay and remind him of how to behave properly if he got carried away at parties. This is a chance for him to practice those skills and some kids need more support than others. I much prefer this mom coming to keep an eye on her handful kid than a parent dropping off their handful kid and letting someone else deal with the fallout.

My goodness there's some selfish me me me people on this thread (cough, op, cough) and it's this sort of attitude that our kids are observing! Let's model kindness and acceptance so the future generations can be more empathetic.

Signed, a teacher, with two kids who behave well at parties so I don't have a skin in this game, lest you think that's why I'm supporting the pp.[/quote]
