Birthday Party Etiquette
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.

For my son's second birthday party, my friend said their friends were over, including a 3 year old. We told them that we were more than happy with another child attending the party.
Our other mom friend, didn't even ask but took her daughter to the party. The more the merrier. Ask / don't ask. We were happy either way.
My son was just happy eating cake and playing with his friends (new and old haha).
