[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really hate ice skating parties. Ice skating is notorious for injuries. I know of one child knocked unconscious and taken away in an ambulance and another who ended up with a broken arm. Great parties. If your kid takes lessons and is a confident skater that’s great but don’t assume other kids will do as well. I’ve been to plenty of parties where the only decent skater was the birthday child and one or two others and the rest of the kids clung to the walls. Parents need to be on site to make sure the skates are laced up properly. It’s a total pain. It’s also much kinder to host a party where all of the kids can fully participate. [/quote]

+1 exactly. I also wouldn’t feel comfortable hosting this kind of a party where the majority of kids are not skaters and injuries could easily happen. This just isn’t a good time for anyone except maybe the birthday kid.[/quote]

This is not what I’ve seen when taking my own kids to skating parties (and fwiw, only one of my kids took any lessons, a grand total of 4).

I assume the kids who couldn’t skate declined, but there were plenty of attendees who were hardly professional skaters, but did just fine and most importantly, had fun.[/quote]

Why didn’t you drop off?[/quote]
