I omitted to mention that the particular party that I made reference to was held in a public park and there were also non-associated children in the mix, plus really simply didn't get introduced to many of the parents. Many were not that well known to the mother of the birthday girl, a lot were "play-group" parents, the family knew me of course. I agree that we should exercise our rights but I'm also not prepared to tempt fate and drop myself into a potentially compromising position either. A lot of parents are un-realistically paranoid and I don't look like an innocuous grand- parent (at this stage thankfully).
