It really depends on your child. My daughter was about 7 or 8 when I stopped going with her. And even then I would sometimes still go if I did not know the people very well. I have a bad experience one time when I thought I knew the parents pretty well. My daughter was 6 and I dropped her off for a pool party, the parents had hired to life guards to watch the kids and their pool did not have a deep end so I felt it would be safe. When I returned to pick her up, all of the adults were intoxicated. I was so furious! Needless to say she did not go back over to their house again.
My daughters now 14 and she had an end of year swimming party and a few of the kids parents stayed for the party. It just whatever you feel comfortable with.

THAT depends on your child, where they are going, if you are friends with the parents, (or want to be). If it is a pool party, be there. A skating party, ok, maybe go shopping for 1/2 of it. It really depends on how well you know the folks giving the party, and the maturity of your child.

I would ask the party's host what the protocol is, they may want the extra eyes. I would drop your child off and linger chatting w/ the host until you are sure you and your child are comfortable with the situation. Then if it seems that there are no other parents and your child is doing well then feel free to go.

Around the age 5 or 6. Depends on how independant he or she is.

I stopped going to all b-day parties when my daughter was about 13. She is a girl/minor and must be watched, remember not all parents watch your children properly. I also gave her a time for pickup. Go in and meet the parents, stay a few minutes and when you feel comfortable then excuse yourself and leave.

I'd say when the child is old enough to drive. Otherwise drop them off if they're younger. Depends on the type of event(party, sleepover, etc)

I don't know an age, but unless there is someone you know you can trust to watch your child, I wouldn't do it...people are too crazy now. my son is 4 and he doesn't go anywhere unless me, my husband, one of our mothers or some other responsible family member we know and trust is there to keep an eye on him and it'll be that way for a long time.

depends if your kids parents are friends with the other kids parents. if they are friends then there is no age. but if they are not friends i think the age limit shoud be 8 if the other familoy is a good family who takes care of their kids.

my daughters were about 5 when i would leave them at a party. depends on how mature they are. its hard but you gotta let them deal with things without you around.

seven or eight. They're usually seeking independence at that age and building their own identity and i think you can trust their judgment (to a certain extent) at that age
