My friends left (I assumed bc they trusted me!) and the one I didn't know too well stayed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-drop-off-parties-start#post-2644505 Fri, 28 Oct 2016 12:49:45 +0000 kiddosc 2644505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm glad to hear this starts at 5.

The parents who stayed were all already our friends. </p> <p>It seems like drop off parties started at 5. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-drop-off-parties-start#post-2644392 Fri, 28 Oct 2016 10:59:31 +0000 808love 2644392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I invited parents to stay or go at LO's five year old party. It was in a room with a big glass window that connected to a big retail shop. All parents left except one mom whom I only knew through our children's friendship. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-drop-off-parties-start#post-2644363 Fri, 28 Oct 2016 10:22:14 +0000 looch 2644363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They started last year, my son was turning 5.</p> <p>I am not comfortable with it, to be honest, especially when they're at places that are not at home. I can't "relax" when my son is there and I am not, I am always afraid he's going to get hurt and I will need to go and get him, so I hang around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-drop-off-parties-start#post-2644318 Fri, 28 Oct 2016 09:34:13 +0000 Mamaof2 2644318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was 1st grade for us </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-drop-off-parties-start#post-2644268 Fri, 28 Oct 2016 09:00:50 +0000 catlady 2644268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I noticed for my niece's 5th birthday, my SIL offered the parents the choice to drop off or stay, and about half chose to drop off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-drop-off-parties-start#post-2644264 Fri, 28 Oct 2016 08:55:49 +0000 Mrs. Bee 2644264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>they started in kindergarten so age 5. charlie went to a couple before he turned 5 but he has a december birthday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-drop-off-parties-start#post-2644235 Fri, 28 Oct 2016 08:24:44 +0000 Andrea 2644235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD was almost 5 for her friend's 5th birthday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-drop-off-parties-start#post-2644193 Fri, 28 Oct 2016 07:49:24 +0000 mediagirl 2644193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At what age do kids start going to drop off parties where the parents of the birthday kid are there but the parents of the kids attending the parties go home?
