Have you ever..?

I had a whole thread on a similar thing to this a year ago!! DS was turning 2 and we were going to a play centre (quite expensive) and one girl wanted her 5 yr old to come, very awkward cause he was/is a bully and laways hurt the little kids so I ahd to politely say no it was only for the little ones.

I know my class have had a number of whole class parties (I teach kindy at school) I haven't heard of any probs with siblings coming but I can ask after the holidays if you like?

I once asked a group of mums with older kids how do you know if it is a drop off party and they said the invitation will normally be worded as "Drop off: 10am, Pick up: 12 noon" for example. Gets the point across without the need to give an explanation.

I like the way Muppity has worded it. I'm one of those parents who like to stay at the parties, especially when there are going to be alot of children there, but I know there are many that think of it as time off for themselves
