[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 2nd grader was invited to a bday party at a play venue, I had my other child with me also and assumed it was drop off. I was told no parents need to stay but I had already planned to take my other child to a different event. I explained to the host that I had to bring my other child somewhere and apologized for assuming it was drop off but they were visibly annoyed. Do people expect parents of second graders to spend hours of their afternoon at a play venue for birthday parties?[/quote]

Unless it says drop off on the invite assume it isn't a drop off.  I have attended parties like this and parents drop off and their kid has an issue (yes even in 2nd) and another parent has to help your child.

My 2nd just had a party and we wrote on the evite, drop off, or one parent can stay if you want.  Please put correct # as we have spacing restrictions.  Most parents dropped off, but we had a few parents who stayed.  Some were fine but some were high maintenance.

I think next year we will just do a day trip with my son's best friends.  If it isn't a drop off party see if you can carpool and one parent brings and stays for an hour and then the next parent comes and picks up and stays for a bit.  [/quote]
