[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We've been to/hosted second grade parties this year, and there are often parents hanging around, especially if the venue is large with lots of exits. They don't ask permission, and they don't need permission; they either hang out on their phones or socialize with other parents who as also sticking around. When we hosted our second grader's birthday, I enjoyed socializing with the parents i know and am friendly with - I also chatted with people who are not in my immediate circle but who were hanging out at the venue...[b]because I am a normal person with basic social skills. OP I would recommend a social skills class for you, because really, at your age you should be able to handle the fact that the parent of an invited classmate will remain present at your birthday venue[/b]. [/quote] Yeah this is really the crux of it. If you can't make small talk with another person for a few minutes at a kid's birthday party the problem is you, not the other mom. [/quote]
