[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anybody else have a birthday party in the 1980s? Every party included cake, ice cream, and a drink (Kool-Aid or something similar). Nobody expected a full meal or even snacks. They were at somebody's house, with maybe 10 invited kids; parents dropped us off. It was fun. Obviously times have changed, but when? How? When did people decide that when they're invited to a party they E should EXPECT certain things? [/quote]

THIS.

If the party isn't happening over a meal time, why would you expect more than cake and ice cream?  Your kids have been invited to celebrate with my kid.. not so everyone can eat.  In MY life, we have stopped having everything revolve around food.  DS, DH and I are all struggling with our weight.  Yeah, we could serve veggies but someone would bitch because a) prince or princess doesn't like veggies and B) there's no protein. The fact is that we are trying to get it through our own heads that every gathering doesn't need to involve food.[/quote]
