[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Annoying. Part of the fun of birthday parties is talking/meeting/getting to know the parents of my kids friends. It's not free babysitting. If you want that, suggest playdates. Those can be drop off. [/quote] +100 Great time to meet other parents.[/quote] I absolutely agree with this in general, but that isn't what ends up happening. All birthday parties since my children turned 5 have been slumber parties at our house. Should the parents have all stayed the night? Many do stay and have a drink, but then they leave and, if they don't have any other kids, they usually go out. They aren't using me for childcare, but it is the upside to someone inviting your kid somewhere.[/quote] Note that the kids in attendance have been as young as 3, and I have had many 4 year olds. I knew what I was getting into when I invited them, of course, and I made sure I was prepared.[/quote]
