So I've been seeing a lot of people talking about this over on TikTok and I wanted to come on here and talk about it because I want to hear other peoples opinions and I can I have my own like opinion about this that I want to share but basically if you guys haven't seen it there was like the spiral video about this mom who said that she does not stay with her kid at birthday parties and then everyone kind of like freaked out and half of the people were like oh my god that's horrible of you and the other half we're like yeah me too but basically my thing is I personally would never ever ever leave my kids somewhere Without me like a birthday party or no sleepovers like stuff like that like I just wouldn't do that personally but I do not judge anyone who would and I totally understand the other perspective of like well what if I have something else to do or I don't wanna make small talk with other parents but I don't know like whatever your reason is anyway like I think you're totally valid and that's your decision as a parent and what you feel comfortable with for your kid and I think it's crazy how people are gonna sit here and say that you're a bad parent if you don't stay at the party or you're a bad parent if you do stay at the party like there's so much that goes into parenting and motherhood and fatherhood and just all of that like Let everybody do what they want to do do you know it's not some thing that's going to put your child in harms way hopefully but like other than that I don't think anybody else really has a say in what you do and I think it's crazy how much everyone rushes to attack someone who does something differently than them but yeah I don't know if you guys saw that post but if you did let me know your opinions I'm curious

I did not see that post but personally depending on how old my kid is I think once they reach an age maybe like 1112 and I give him maybe like a phone or something just in case something were to happen and I wouldn't be like gone for like I wouldn't be home I'd probably be just around the area just so I can stay by myself and then be ready to come pick up my kid in the time that we agreed

I guess it kind of depends. If it's at their house or something, somewhere controlled, I think I would feel comfortable leaving them for an hour or two unless it's at a park or a theme park or something like that then I would stay because there are so many kids.

I feel like because my son is still too small I would stay as well but if I don't know I love kids so I don't mind going to birthday parties and staying there and actually interacting with kids and parents I think that's what it is for me I didn't enjoy being around kids so I wouldn't mind it

I didn't see that post however I don't think you should be judging other moms around they stay out but they probably are not is what we are choose ourselves for kids know if all the kid his way over there and we know the people OK whatever however me personally I'd say octopus if I is because I am using also invited because we are friends and that's just how it goes a family

I definitely think it's a personal preference. And it really depends on how close you are with the person that's throwing the party. I'm not fond of my child being anywhere, so I might stay. but if I know the people, you know, I'll dip out.
