[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So the party room fits 24 people and you are inviting the whole class and insisting a parent has to attend too? Sounds miserable.  Just make it a drop off party and have a couple good friends' parents/your family that are willing to stay on hand to help.  [/quote]

The OP’s kid is invited to a drop off party. She is the one who is trying to go with a toddler to a public place. I think that is fine as long as they don’t try to participate in the party.

These places are really annoying about food and the room size is the room size.[/quote]

They are also annoying from a liability perspective. The drop off parent waives liability. Who exactly is responsible for the children being dropped off? [/quote]

First off, I replied about DROP-OFF PARTIES. Drop-off parties at event spaces like Scramble are negligent. The worst are trampoline parks. What are you going to do as the parent when some 6-year-old breaks his leg? Do you even know all the kids you invited? Would they recognize you or do they how to find you? When the employee comes up to you and they are calling the ambulance to come get that kid do you have contact info for their parent? You exchanged numbers and have their name?

Those event spaces expect an adult to be responsible for each kid.

Drop off at a house is different due to decreased risky behaviors. A magician is less likely to break a kids leg vs a trampoline park. But you should still discuss with the parent dropping off and get their contact info. [/quote]

The waiver has the contact information. The parent would have filled out a waiver before a kid was allowed to participate. [/quote]

Sure Jan. Im sure it all works out!  :roll: [/quote]

Look Susan, your kid can just miss out if it's too hard. No worries. [/quote]
