Kids parties can be an absolute fucking nightmare

[FunnysInLaJardin]

So I have 2 DS's. We have been through sleepover hell, house party hell and I thought with DS2 we had it sussed.

Apparently not. Soft play/gym type party which should have been supervised but wasn't so DH had to marshall 12 7yo's while I did the food.

We sat down to eat and one child shouted at me that he needed entertaining while he ate and where was the telly/DVD. Found a telly and was trying to put a DVD on, while I was saying sit down and eat etc. Lots of running about, screaming when the lights went out for the cake and shouting through 'Happy Birthday'. Then some boys proceeded to take their clothes off at which point DH got angry and ended up sending one boy out of the party for his frankly awful behaviour.

These are all boys from DS2's class at school and who are largely speaking nice well behaved boys.

So the conclusion is, no more large parties. Just a couple of friends to the cinema from now on.

It has taken us 11 years to reach that conclusion

Oh my days! Never do a large party over 8 yrars old unless organised by someone like us. Magicians won't do parties for over 8 year old boys cause they go behind them and try and find the tricks up their cape or coat and shout out how they are done. If the area wasn't supervised you must complain and possibly get a partial refund. Does annoy me x

Sounds horrendous. I've never had anything happen like that at any of my boy's parties - I am quite strict though - I would not indulge the TV thing.

I went to a friend's son's party and helped her out - this was the worst I have ever seen. The boys were dropping food on the floor and stamping it in - with their mothers sat chatting at the next table. Disgusting entitled kids and mothers.
