To have bought dh to kids party

[Cleo2628]

Feel really awkward now.
6th birthday party at a house last weekend (very large house & garden so not cramped) invitation said drop off or stay but host invited all 3 of my children ages 6, just turned 4 & 1. Brought DH along as 1 year old can be a terror and one of the party activities needed 1:1 adult supervision, particularly for the 4 year old.

other guests there were a mixture of drop offs or had 1 parent (mum) stay. One solo dad. But all were 5/6 year olds with no siblings.

was it odd we came with DH? I feel extra awkward as I’ve text host today thank you etc and she hasn’t replied! But she is a bad texter!

Total non issue if they invited much younger siblings. Doubt she's thought anything of it unless DH ate all the cake!

In your case I'd have left the 1 year old at home with DH and let the other 2 older ones have a nice day with just you.

I really don't see the issue. If I was hosting and the party was either stay or drop off. I'd assume some would stay solo, some both parents, some drop off.

What you describe is absolutely fine, you're overthinking.

DH and I go to all kids parties together with our two kids. I've never once asked.

I've had parties where both parents attended and random siblings showed up. I'd only think it was a piss take if you were rude, went in the fridge or something. If you were nice and behaved like normal people I'd have been glad to have you there.
Also if I put food out for guests it's there to be eaten. Rude people are the ones to take a massive share in the first round and leave none for anyone else, but I don't think I've ever had that happen when I've hosted

I’d actually find it really nice if both parents came, shows how much they appreciate the invite!

I think you’re over thinking. Xxx

If someone thanks you after a party you don't reply. What would she have to say?

Your DH wasn't the only man as there was the solo dad and even if he was so what?
