[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find it a strange party.  How do you do a scavenger hunt at a library and keep kids quiet?  Not everyone likes McDonalds - we only eat breakfast there.  I would encourage her to go, but I wouldn't force it.[/quote]

OP, this is an example of who your DD will be when she becomes an adult unless you teach her manners and kindness...and resiliency!

From the sounds of it, the parents are probably on a tight budget and they want to keep costs under control which I totally respect.

Back when we were kids, as a 3rd grader I would have thought this was a cool idea for a party.

Its not good manners to bring a group of kids to a library for a scavenger hunt.  Its a quiet place, not a place for kids to run around.  And, if the parent are on a tight budget McDonalds is not very cheap.  It isn't rude, if a child is a vegetarian.  The only thing my child could eat is a salad or pancakes and not all parents would buy a different meal or be ok with mine buying something different.  The major food items, including potato items are meat or have meat byproducts.    [/quote]

I would expect they cleared the scavenger hunt with the library. Heck, maybe it's a fundraiser for the library. [/quote]
