[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am curious, why are all you parents at these parties? I drop my kids off at parties and our parties are drop off too. Where are these parties that parents stay the whole time? Talk about a LAME party. I bet the parents run to Target and grab the first thing they can find and don't include the child in the gift giving anyway.

Maybe you need to let the kids do what feels right for them. My kids and their circle of friends like opening presents so we do. They like picking gifts out that are fun and I like the [b]rare sightings[/b] of manners on both sides during this process. Sometimes my oldest will go to a party that they don't open presents and she pulls the child aside to open it before she leaves. Only once was a child told she was not allowed and that was fine. For the most part kids want to open presents and thank people in person. [/quote]
See...rare sighting of manners.  I don't take my kids to pick out birthday presents.  We have parties 3-4 times a month.  I typically buy 3-4 of the same thing for that month from online.[/quote]
