[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Who hates watching someone open a present? [/b]How selfish is that. We moved here 3 years ago and that is the norm in my area in NJ so kids learn to give/receive. My kids love picking out presents and always ask their friends to open them even if they don't at the party.  I feel like parents are over involved here in this area. Massive parties means a party every other weekend. They buy the gifts and kids show up with a wrapped box they didn't help buy or wrap so why would they care?  I think that is where the embarrassing part lies. [/quote]

A child who was unable to bring a present or who couldn't afford to spend much on one would hate watching the host open presents.  I know I did as kid.  Like the PP, we grew up in an area that was economically depressed.  Parties were focused on having fun and eating cake - not at all like the greed-fests here.  [b]And, good bags?  I'd never heard of them until I moved to this area.  Attending the party was the 'goody'.[/b][/quote]

One little girl walked up to me at the start of my DD's 6th birthday party and asked me what the goodie bag was going to be. I couldn't believe it. You should have seen her face when I didn't give any. Wasn't the party, the rental facility, the lunch and cake enough?[/quote]
