Girls and their birthday parties
Both girls have their birthdays coming up. They both want fabulous parties instead of presents. S wants to go to Castles and Coasters with some friends, and they want to go by themselves. I'm not ready for that. It's a big place and she's only gonna be 14. I suggested going to a movie and having a sleepover. I'm not sure I convinced her of that. R wants to go to Amazing Jakes with some friends. There is no school on Feb. 2nd which would be a great day to have the party during the day/during the week it's much cheaper. I'm worried about the fact it's a long drive to get there, and will parents really drive that far to drop off their kids? If they stay we would have to pay for them to hang out, play, and eat? We could take some kids in our car, and do I go not to be able to have any fun and how painful it would be walking around there? So, do I let P be in charge of the party? We've never done that before. He sometimes isn't even home when the kids have their parties. I just feel awful about not going, but if I stay home then one more friend could ride in the car. I want them to be happy, but I want them safe and darn it I really don't want to miss their birthdays.

I don't know about the party for S. I wouldn't want her there alone, but I think it's fine for her to be there with her friends and have you or Pat or even Jess sitting at a table where they have a base to check in every so often. It's really not that big and she is going to be 14, BUT I would only do that during the day! I think it's not a great place to be at night...
As far as R, since that is a day off, what if you took both cars? Many of the friends' parents might not have the day off since it is mid-week, but if P drove a car and J drove a car with you in it, then you could fit R plus 8 or 9 friends, right? And then you could be there and P and J could be there as chaperons as well, but you could mostly sit!
Just my ideas.
