My wife has some friends. I've never cared for them. They have a daughter the same age as ours that she plays with. Apparantly, they are having a birthday party for their daughter the week that I am watching my daughter. My wife suggested I take our daughter to the party to see her little friend. So, do I go? I hate to be one of those parents that drops off their kid, disappears and then comes back a few hours later to pick her up. I don't care for these people but it's not like I hate them. I'd probably be fine being around them. Doesn't really matter to me either way if I have to socialize with them.
.........so, do I take my daughter to her friends birthday party (and stay) or not even though these people are my wifes friends?

Try to take this in a proper manner.
You are starting threads waaaaaaaaaaaay too much. Slow your roll.
This is getting out of control on your part.
Every little issue you have…………………. you don't need to get a consensus on.
Give thought to others in need and be mindful of their issues that may need attending.
Not pissed just getting irritated.

If it were me, and I don't have kids, I would bring her and stay. here she can develop and grow social skills. When she looks over her little shoulder for reassurance daddy is right there loving her, watching her test those little wings. And think of all the topics of conversation you now have. did you like the cake? the ice-cream, this behavior was acceptable, the way little Johnny acted wasn't.
Most importantly you are furthering your bond with your baby and SHOWING her actively you have interest in her life.
Go, enjoy, and time well spent maybe not directly with, but definitely for your daughter.

I guess because when I say I did something, the vast majority seem to want to beat me to death with a baseball bat for doing it. I guess it would make most happy if I decide on my own what I want to do,......and then do the opposite of it.

No you just either can't and never have made a decision for yourself or your an attention-[censored]. Which is it? You don't seem to take advise yet you ask in every little situation. Who are you and what are you looking for?

[quote] the ice-cream [/quote]
I, like Lee, have no children. But if I did, I guess I would take my daughter to the party, hang out with her (but not too close), sit around and eat ice cream and cake. And, if the other little girls parents annoyed me, I'd eat ALL the cake and ALL the ice cream, and make all the other little girls cry.
But that's just me.
Seriously, I'd take her.
Why the hell not?

I would say go and keep an open mind.
Just because you may not have gotten along with the host/hostess of the party before doesn't mean they could turn out to be good friends.
Some of my best friends are people I had conflicts with in the past.

DO YOU REALLY THINK I'M BEING "TOUGH" THREATENING TO EAT ALL THE CAKE AND ICE CREAM?
I figured the kids are young. They'll, like, "get over it", you know?
