Then don't  attempt to do things that you can't handle.   Did you order super expensive food and entertainment too--then say "I just can't afford all of this" and ask parents to chip in?

If you don't want to or can't stay at a party with your kid and a bunch of 3 and 4 year olds, JUST DON'T COME.  If you have too many kids of your own to make this feasible, maybe you should have figured out what you were capable of.  [/quote]
