[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wait, did you say 18 kids?  And it will be you and your husband only?  Sorry, that does not work.  Kids at that age lose interest or get scared by movies ( not all, but some). Some will want to go to the bathroom.  You need to enlist the help,if either some of the other parents or adult friends.  Then you can say drop,off- do not worry we have x number of chaperones.

My dh and I did a movie party once and 4 kids was a handful.  They are excited and and will act insane, even the kids that are normally well behaved.  [/quote]

No, she said it was SIX adults.  How do you people function in society?  This is a no brainer.  Each adult sits at the end of the row.  The kids split up into three rows.  If someone needs to go to the bathroom during the movie (hopefully OP will make a pre-movie trip), the adult will whisper and see if anyone else needs to go.  All the kids who need it (and the adult) go to the bathroom quietly and come back.

I am not sure what the HUGE issue is.  They are going to BE IN A MOVIE.  If your kid does not have the attention span at 8 to sit through a movie, decline.  Don't make it about the parent - it is you and your kid.  Eight years old is a perfect age for this.  I sat in a movie party once a few years ago and felt like a dumbass, because my 3 yo was fine (the party was for a friend of his 5 yo brother, mom said it was fine to drop them both off).  I only stayed because I wasn't sure how he would do.  He was fine.  I could have had two hours of free baby sitting and I f'ed it up.
