[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  I am OK as long as there is someone else watching the child -- for example, a parent could bring a child and another classmate; I don't necessarily need one parent per child, but I don't want to be the parent responsible for the child if I'm hosting the party.  There was an accident at a party I was at last weekend.  It wasn't bad, but it required parental attention.

Question for parents who drop off at that age:  do you normally ask ahead of time?  Or assume it's ok?  I'm wondering if instead of saying something in the invite, if I can expect the parent to raise it with me and state that I would prefer they not drop off? There is one child in particular that I am concerned about (the others seem to be more self-sufficient).

I'm the first one who said I have 4 kids and drop mine off. I do not ask. I just do it. I'm not dropping them off at an R-rated movie here. I'm dropping them at a moderately child-proofed home or party place. If my kid falls down your stairs and breaks her leg, I'm not going to sue you unless you pushed her down the stairs.  If you're worried about that kid, then don't invite him/her. Or tell your DH or mom or whoever "Hey, see that red-shirted girl? Keep an eye on her - she needs extra attention." [/quote]
