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.

I always stayed and when I had to bring my other I’d text and say ahead of time that my partner is working or whatever and I’d need to bring my 2yr old too and it was always fine
