[quote=Anonymous]I really think kids’ ages matter. OP’s kid is that borderline age. I have 3 kids and having an all class party for my kindergarten child. In preschool, all parties invited the entire class. I liked talking to parents. I want to get to know the new kindergarten parents.

I also have two older kids in elementary. We moved when they were in elementary and all parties were drop off. All play dates are drop off. I have 3 kids and all their friends have siblings. No one is sticking around when they have another kid in the car or have to drop off older sibling at soccer or tennis. I am friendly with their friends’ parents. I would not say we are friends.

We have many friends, adult and family friends that we made when my older kids were younger (ages 0-6). That is when parents stuck around and socializing was equally for parents as kids. We hung out as full families and of course everyone was invited - dads, babies, siblings.

Recently, my 10yo son invited a few boys over. Instead of dropping off, one dad invited himself in and didn’t leave. Dh was annoyed that this guy was staying for hours. It is weird to stick around for a 10yo.[/quote]
