[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s a little inconvenient but in the end, the majority of these places are in the far burbs and there’s not that many of them. I would rather take my kid to a trampoline park or rec center 30 minutes away, drop him off, and maybe have time to grocery shop or just have Starbucks or something at a nearby shopping center vs. feeling like I have to stay and “visit” at a home party. Yes I know home parties start being exclusively drop off at some point but we’re finishing up 1st grade and it hasn’t happened yet. [/quote]

I was amazed at how many people just dropped off their kids at our kindergarten bday party.  [/quote]

Did you expect them to stay?  In K I assume it’s a drop off. [/quote]

PP here and maybe.  I mean they don't know us and while our house is child proof they really don't know.  Also, 10+ kids is a lot to manage for the hosts.  Finally, when something happens the kids look to their parents for comfort.  For example, one girl couldn't work the bathroom door after washing her hands and she freaked out that she was stuck in there.  I would say about about 1/4 of the parents stayed.[/quote]
