[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I think half of the responders yelling, 'helicopter' are actually kids who found the board[/b].  Saying a 2 minute 'hello' to the parents is not a burden to someone hosting a party and is just good sense.  It's not about whether or not you trust your own kid.  It's about the fact that the families hosting parties may have very different values/expectations than you do.  [/quote]

+1  Especially because I have seen that ALL of the parents of my children's friends are doing the same thing.  We are ALL walking up to the home, going in and meeting the parents.  Most of them are even exchanging cell phone numbers and email addresses with the host parents.[/quote]

DP here.  I agree with this.  What I don't agree with is certain parents cornering other parents who look different than them (but the different parents look the same as the host) - questioning about the host parents.  "Geesus, I don't know what your concerns are, specifically - how about asking the host parents yourself, you prejudiced, gossipy, drama laden, PITA?!"  Just because we have the same skin doesn't mean we all know each other intimately, or came from the same GD island.  FFS. Go question and judge elsewhere.  Better yet, you stick to your kid, I'll stick to mine. [/quote]
