[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't get over asking kids to pay their own way at a birthday party "because of the number of kids". So invite fewer kids! Wow.  My DS had a movie party last year for his 7th and we covered both the movie and the pizza afterwards at the pizza joint across the street from the theater. 
This is seriously a who incident. I am very lax and I live in a very small extremely safe town (not DC metro).  My kids have a lot of freedom but in this situation I would be absolutely livid.[/quote]

I don't know if this is a troll thread, but I can say that as a kid (around 12) I went to a party like this; the host parent paid for pizza, but when the birthday kid wanted to play a multiplayer arcade game, the host parent asked us all if we had cash to pay for it, and we didn't so she begrudgingly paid, but asked our parents for the $5/each when our parents got picked us up at the arcade. I remember my parents saying it was tacky, but I guess people do it.

I have way more problems with leaving the kid in the lobby alone, even if asking kids the pay for a party you've invited them to is more like an outing, and you should just call it that. "No host" birthday party would have made it clear.[/quote]
