[quote=Anonymous][b][quote=Anonymous]This isn’t hard - you use your words and tell the other family what to expect. There are basically two simultaneous events - a kids pizza and movie/video game hangout night and an adults-only dinner. Kids who want to participate in the former are welcome. If you know people well enough to have them over for four+ hours straight, surely you can handle this degree of communication.[/b]

I agree with the previous poster, though - you’re out of line to try to pathologist this poor girl’s behavior simply because the evening didn’t unfold how you imagined. You can be unhappy about how it went without anyone having done anything wrong.[/quote]

+1 We do this.  Some events we host are family events ("join us for a family pool day/bbq") and some are adult events that we allow people to bring their kids to, to hang out separately, so the adults don't have to arrange other childcare or pay a sitter ("join us for an adult dinner and card games; we'll set up the kids with pizza and a movie in the rec room").
