High SES children's birthday parties can easily turn into carefully-controlled events; parties with no party-fun. Parents shouldn't worry about other parents eating the food, who is making a mess, who brought an extra child, who didn't bring a gift, who didn't remember to [b]NOT BRING[/b] a gift, who arrived late, and so forth.

For me, running out of food is the most embarrassing thing at an adult party or children's birthday party. Let it goooo, let it goooo![/quote]

I'm asian and this is so trueeeee- running out of food should be the only worry. its a party! Noone wants to party with uptight white ppl who keep clapping their hands and say "ok now we are moving on to x activity I saw on pinterest" (in a high pitched voice)
 My parents were well off and we socialized with people who had catered events in huge houses and people who were living 5 to a 2 bedroom apartment and you ALWAYS have something in common.  Sports or tv shows or recipes, music, commute, cable companies suck, apple versus samsung? [/quote]
