[quote=Anonymous]I've never been to a party that included parents that did not also provide food + dessert for the parents, though I don't think the hosts truly expect parents to indulge. Mostly it is the dads who really eat and the moms just drink coffee and maybe steal a bite of cake from their kid vs have their own slice. I think you just need to be clear, "These tables and pizza/whatever/vegetable tray is for the adults!" and offer them a dessert, too. Don't just leave them awkwardly hanging wondering if they are also meant to indulge. Most parents don't join in unless you explicitly invite/offer them to do so. In my experience, it is the dads who don't hesitate to eat even without a seat. The moms want a seat to chat with other parents while the snack or drink coffee or whatever is being enjoyed.[/quote]
