Just dropped DS1 ( nearly 7 ) at a classmates party in local community centre.
All of other Mums sat around edge of hall chatting. I just couldn't wait to get out.
DS1 has my mobile number in trouser pocket and i OK'd it with birthday girls Mum.
HAve DS2 to look after, but even if i didn't, can't really see the need to stay.
Is it me??

Sometimes I stay for the chat - sometimes I don't. YANBU.

TBH I abhor kids parties.
I am not really friends with any of the other Mums and the thought of making samll talk for 2 hrs is Painful.
Would much rather chunter away on here!

not at 7 bet he loved the fact you have left him it will make him feel more grown up

had a party for my son last yr i had 55 children aged 10ish no parents stayed it was just me, dh and the dj but it was a fab party
parents dampen their cred

NO! I've just done the same. Although dd is 11 now, I didn't even get out of the car! I think the first time I did it, she was about 6.

maybe they just wanted to chat to each other
don't think you need to feel guilty at all

No.

Good on you for making the great escape.
