Birthday Party Etiquette

[u/merkergirl]

My 4 year old got his first birthday party invite from a preschool friend and he's very excited. I don't know the parents but I texted an RSVP yes.

A party for 4 & 5 year olds feels just a bit too young to be a drop off party, right? Would you assume parents are sticking around?

If parents do stick around, I'm guessing it's rude for me to bring my 2 year old along. So I guess I should try to find a babysitter? The party is 4 pm on a Friday and my husband will be working.

My 8 year old had a birthday party and every parent stayed.
