[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let's read between the lines here.

The real problem is that OP, like all of the adults, wants to drink and have a good time with the grown-ups, while everyone wants to lump "the kids" -- be they 2 or 12 -- together. That works, sort of, in the early baby years when your child will sleep thru the madness, but at 5, as OP is discovering, is the real age when supervision is needed.

OP, if you feel strongly about it, I think you're just going to have to suck it up and be responsible for keeping your child away from all of this. You cannot ask older kids not to do what they want to do, especially in their own home. The idea to bring group age-appropriate games for all of them to try to play together is a good one, but don't expect that to last the entire day. Bottom line: You are responsible for keeping your 5 year old away from this if you don't like it.[/quote]
This +1
The 12 year olds really don't want to do the same things as the 5 year olds. Maybe you can split them into groups to play?
Don't just send your kid off to socialize with the older kids by himself. He won't have fun and its annoying when everyone expects the older one to entertain the little kids. [/quote]
