[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't mind if hosts don't feed me when I attend a bday party with my child.  It's a child's party, for the children.  Just like I sit and wait whenever I take my DC somewhere (swimming lesson, soccer, whatever), I"m not expecting to be entertained or fed.  It's about the kids, not me.  The hosts don't need to cater to my every whim.  What's next?  "Hosts, I"m cold.  Did you bring me an extra sweater?  Did you bring extra socks for me to go on the bounce house?"  By hosting a bday party for your child, you are not committing to meeting every need of childlike adults who may be in attendance w/ their children.  Just my two cents.    [/quote]

Most people are more sociable though and the adults that stay are usually chatting and are entertained with each other's company.  I would find it strange if you came to my child's party and sat in the corner like you would for a swim class.  If one of the parents was cold I'd certainly offer a sweater if I had one to give and if a child was left out of the moonbounce because they didn't have socks I'd offer a pair.

Actually I'd offer you a sweater if I had an extra in the car if I was just another guest and saw you were cold.  That is just kindness...not etiquette.[/quote]

I chat with other parents and am sociable while waiting for my DC at swim lesson, soccer, etc.  We have a good time and are entertained with each other's company.  Still don't expect to be fed.  [/quote]
