The five year old got invited to a party where parents can elect to stay or just drop the kid off. I asked the five year old if he was fine with being dropped off and his response was, "Mommy it's a dance birthday party. I can shake my booty without you." So we are going to drop him off.
This earned me "oh I could never do that. Unless they've had play dates?" and "We don't even know the mother."
It is a 2 hour party for a classmate. He is fine with the idea of being dropped off, he only wouldn't be fine if we made it a thing. And to quote my husband the good dr cox, "if they did anything I'd kill them, and it is technically hard to convict me in this town I'm friends with the crown attorney and judges."
The five year old likes being independent. This is a safe way to let him be independent. I love being a parent just about more than anything, but jesus fucking christ I hate how I am supposed to perform parenting sometimes.
We have no family in town, they are 4000 kilometers away. The good dr cox and I got time as a couple maybe half a dozen times in the year and that is a generous number, so yeah other moms I am putting for two hours my marriage ahead of my child's 'safety' when I know he is going to be fine.
People, they suck.
