If I was so horrified by 20 minutes with my son's friends, they wouldn't be his friends. [/quote]

There is a huge difference between being in your own home and a parent is late for play date pick-up, and being at a noisy, crowded venue where the kids are actively trying to go here, there, and everywhere because the venue is literally designed to attract and distract them. Let’s be real. In either case, if you are going to be late, there is literally zero reason you can’t text. And you most certainly should apologize. [/quote]

You collect the kids. [b]You give them a job involved in the clean up. You amuse them with that job.[/b] 20 minutes with your kid’s friends should not be some kind of insurmountable burden.

Agree that parents shouldn’t be late, but c’mon.. you should already know the parents that are going to be late. I do. And I always accommodate foe those people because it’s not the kid’s fault. You can’t change it after it happens, so fuming for days is also stupid. If your kid likes the other kid, work around it. If they don’t, then why were they at your party to begin with? [/quote]

Have you hosted a venue party like this before? After the party time has ended, you are essentially kicked out. You’re not staying to help clean up the party room, you’re not getting extra jump time. There are no “jobs” to give out to kids. There is nothing for the kids or adults to do except wait in the lobby of venue or outside of/parking lot of venue. [/quote]

DP This sounds annoying but not infuriating. [/quote]
