Very true. We didn't do much around the house as kids BUT we were mannered and polite when we were at other's homes. We helped clean our plates, and did what was expected. My parents were always getting compliments on how well behaved we were, how polite, responsible, mature, etc.
You don't have to have your kids clean your home or cook your meal for them to be raised with good morals and ethics and to grow into a respectful adult.
nah - not really - at our house it's usually both or all three of us sprawled on different chairs or couches reading -- I LOVE that --
the housework can CLEARLY wait LOL.
For my 10 yr. old, not many of the parents stay around but some still do. Many of the parents are friends with the parents of the party girl/boy and enjoy spending time with them.
My 5 yr. old still has one of stay with him and not one parent has left a party so far at this age. We are all still getting to know each other and some are good friends already.
Because I love watching Liza perform so much is why I don't hang out and watch her rehearsals -- rehearsals are a place to experiement, grow, get frustrated etc... and I don't want me there and her thinking "oh great mom's watching me and I don't have it right yet"
thank you for proving my point that, generally, as kids get older the parents do NOT stay with the child at the birthday party.
Of course you stay with your 5-year old as do the other parents.
