we run our kids to their parties and drop them off. we go and pick them up. we give them their time, so do they need to understand it is important for us as adults to have our time as well. i think if we were to stay at their party and be underfoot would dampen all their fun. it is not mean to need common space. kids don't need to be around when there is a drinking party and we all need to get down sometimes at all ages. by all means stand firm, no kids allowed, don't feel bad, and have a great party.
