4 kids/1 family =2 hours of non-stop whining and crying.
Toddler throws food on floor...parent says "no, don't food on floor". Toddler put head on table, crying pathetically. Parent strokes head and says "there, there, it's okayyyy"
Mother asks Father..."Do you want to eat first, or should I?" Apparently, she usually gets to eat when everyone is done. By the way, I sit down and eat with all 4, plus another toddler, TWICE every day.
3 year old and 4 year old wont sit still at table, so Dad sits nearby, whispering...setlle down now...have another bite...the whole meal.
Mom carreis all the gifts out to the car, then says it's time to go. She starts getting 4 kids ready, while Dad sits there . Eventually, she tells him-Would you please get your coat on?
many things now make sense.....

Reason #1 why I only have parties with the children. Their parents can't handle them!
(On a serious note - sorry you had to deal with that
)

It was a social experiment...lol
Despite the stress, I am glad I did it!

It does help to answer questions about family stuff though doesn't it?
