Kids Party Etiquette

So DD attended a party for her class, shes just finishing reception year. It was in a hall with a bouncy castle. The parent advised it was a drop and go party on the invite which I thought was good so I dropped DD and left to run some errands. When I returned about 15 minutes before the end I saw that most parents were there and it turns out basically they all stayed. Most of the parents seem quite chummy anyway I feel a bit funny that I was the only parent to drop and go. It seems like they all decided in a group to stay and catch up with each other. AIBU to feel a bit annoyed about the whole thing?

I'm surprised it was drop and go for Reception age. All the parties for that age group I've ever been to, the majority of parents have stayed.
I would put money on them not all planning it together and simply staying because the kids are so young

I think they stayed because the children are so young.
