[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How old are the kids?

I am a teacher and have lunch duty every day. It lasts 30 minutes, with 5 minutes at the start and end for cleaning (handwashing or cleaning tables).

When I go to parties, I get a little "helpful/bossy" and offer to serve the cake or help with pacing. Last party I went to, I mentioned that the pick ups would start in 15 minutes and we had not sung yet.  
It is a skill to get 20 kids in one place at one time. The hosts may have been more relaxed about that.

I find parties really stressful and prefer to host them in places where there is someone else to run it, which a HARD STOP at the 90 or 120 minute mark. [/quote]

I’m so glad I don’t know you. [/quote]

Lol. I was thinking the opposite: I like your style and appreciate parents like you to help keep things on track at my own kid's parties! [/quote]

Same! Maybe some of you haven’t been to parties where the kids have finished eating the pizza or whatever and are supposed to remain in the party room sitting quietly until cake is served. I have. It doesn’t work for the 2-5 yo age range.[/quote]
