[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't believe the snowflakes on this forum.  We had backyard parties all the time for our summer birthday kids.  The standard 2 hour party.  Parents had access to the house if it was too young for a drop-off, but they were really fun.  No one complained.

Also attended lots of outdoor birthday parties since our kids had friends the same ages.  I even remember a park party when the host and I were both 9 months pregnant.

It was not a big deal.  [b]What does everyone do all summer if you can't be outside for 2 hours?[/b][/quote]

Snowflake here— we go to the pool in the afternoon, the playground super early in the morning (usually 7:45-9:30) and in the 10:00-2:00 peak solar time we play in the shade of the screened in porch in the water table/with bubbles/paint with water. My kids still nap midday so my “snowflake” window is about two hours long.

Meanwhile we’re out all day in the winter when other DC folks stay in, and I somehow don’t feel the need to call names about it.[/quote]

+1. My kids are older now but everyone should avoid 10-2 in the direct sun for skin cancer reasons. [/quote]
