[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t want to eat pizza at 3pm and I don’t know any other parents who do either.

I love it when hosts have beautiful cupcakes for the parents and coffee, or an “adult cooler” at pool parties but please don’t spend extra money to serve me a slice of tepid pizza at a trampoline park at 3pm.[/quote]

Op here. This was an 1130 party. Just fyi for all the posters who keep mentioning a 3pm party. I agree you don’t need to serve a meal an a non meal time but you need to have stuff and it needs to be for the adults too. But regardless, the main issue with this particular party was that there was not enough food for the kids. [/quote]

I don’t want to eat pizza at 11:30 either.

I agree with you there needs to be enough food for all the kids, though I sympathize with your host if unexpected siblings or late RSVPs got in the way.

It’s nice when there’s parent food (especially coffee at morning parties), but I’m really not going to a toddler party to eat. [/quote]

If the party starts at 1130, the food gets served at like 1230/1pm. That’s actually lunch time. And regardless if you personally would want to eat or not is not the point. Being a good host means having food for the guests. There will always be parents that don’t touch anything that’s offered-and there are parents who always will. [/quote]

Ok, and you can continue to be super upset about those bad mean people who didn’t give you your pizza. But understand that not everyone is experiencing this as the catastrophe that you are.

I throw parties in big venues so people can bring siblings and I have a food and drink setup for parents, but that doesn’t mean I care enough about what other parents do about toddler food to get worked up on DCUM about it. Maybe in the future if this is so upsetting to you, bring a heavy snack for yourself/your child?[/quote]
