"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 can tell you never took your daughter to a birthday party or they are a hell of a lot different on the east coast.

As a parent that has taken my kids to many parties this is the norm and it gives the parents some time to so something on there own while the child enjoys the party.

When you have a party do you want every dam parent setting around watching the birthday party. I know I sure as hell don’t. I don’t expect parents to stay at the parties I have thrown for my kids. I am happy to take the kids for 2-3 hours while they go get some stuff done. They come back and kids get to tell them what a great time they had.

If the P want to stay i have no problem with it but i rarly have had that. Or they leave after we start the party Thank god as it gets crazy when we start smashing the shit out of the pinyata because it does get crazy LOL

Damm near an insult to suggest your bad parent for dropping the kids off at a birthday party
Your so right when you say you have not been involved with you daughter in the past and it shows with post like this.
