[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At 3:30 no way. Your party will be going on at 5 still and supper zone begins then. Move it earlier or feed them something more. [/quote]

Parents can plan accordingly then.

It's really shocking to me that so many kids past the infant stage of life have to be fed on the dot and constantly snacking or they lose control.

It must  be a Gen X parenting thing.[/quote]

NP here. 
Actually, I can't plan if I don't know there won't be food. And it's not that they need to eat constantly. We went to a 3:30pm party with only cake served at 5.  This isn't  the norm so I didn't consider that there would be no other food.  Kids were starving after running around during the party and wanted extra cake.  We were 45 minutes from home. And limited food options nearby. I thought it was so rude of the hosts , who were simultaneously making their own dinner plans while serving cake.  Gee, if you're hungry don't you think your party guests are too? 
Move it 2-4pm and you'll be fine op. [/quote]

So basically you are a poor parent. Your kids had lunch and a snack of cake and couldn't wait until 6 for dinner?  They were begging for more cake? You couldn't find any food for your children?

Different kids are on different schedules.  We do an early dinner with a bigger snack before bed as it works and we have several evening activities so they need to eat and digest before them.  Actually, the poor parents generally have lots of food.  At 5 PM, you serve food with cake, not just cake.

I'm not a fan of pizza and usually get subs but if that is all the venue has, you get some.[/quote]
