I came here to ask a drop off question. Just got an invite for six year old party that says "drop offs welcome." Does that probably mean "we prefer that you drop of your child but you can stay if you must"? We don't know the parents more than in passing, but it's a kid who has recently become my child's main recess buddy. All other class parties have had parents stay so far.

They don't want you to stay.


Agree, am a kindergarten mom. i’d prefer that you drop off, but if you or your child aren’t comfortable with that, we’d rather the parent stay than decline the invitation altogether.

18:44 we have done that for the last two years. The girls love wearing their PJ's.

We have done drop off parties the last two years but folks are very welcome to stay. Though last year I discouraged one single dad from staying because I thought that might get weird and awkward if it was just the two of us adults! (I'm a single mom.) he's a nice guy though.

the whole point is you are welcome to stay if you want to. But if you feel better by getting offended, go ahead.

Just throwing another idea- we did an "Unsleepover" The girls wore PJ's, told scary stories, ate pizza, watched a little show and we called it a night at 8:00. It was a hit.

Where do you park your helicopter?



Seriously. What in the world do you think is going to happen? Will you NEVER let your teeen/teen go anywhere alone, with friends, either? Chill out!

Not sure why you would be invited if you don't know them. I'm OP, and I know all of the parents and kids, and have already had most of them over for drop off playdates before.
