[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents can’t win. If we offer up some pizza, we are socially engineering our kids. If we let them roam, we aren’t involved enough.[/quote]

Offering some pizza and hosting is perfectly fine, just let your kid decide who to invite and stick with who they invited. It should be a day for the kids IMO - not for the parents. [/quote]

I disagree. You can invite all kids, and your kid can invite their friends too.  When adults also come to the party, all kids behave well and become inclusive.  As a result, inclusive behavior becomes the norm after a few such events.  The kids also find new friends once they get to interact with everyone.

But, you guys do you.  [/quote]

Sorry but at the middle and high school ages, inviting the parents is just unnecessary helicoptering. My teens would be mortified. Not to mention people have more than one kid, and can’t be expected to attend multiple parties, hand out candy and trick or treat all at once.[/quote]
