Loved these as a kid. Too bad they aren’t doing them anymore. One thing that was lost during COVID!

Got to love judgy parents. Kids love Mc D’s….heck I love McD’s. Is it healthy for you? No but neither is having a stick up your butt. McD’s is fine as long as you are not having it constantly.

Nothing wrong with it! I think every kid had either a Hungry Jack’s or McDonald’s party when I was growing up. It’s fun.

everyone goes there anyway – so i don’t see a problem having a bday at maccas’s.

If somebody replied to my comment like that I’d simply return their comment and tell them their not welcome anyway. Mums need to stop being so judgemental of each other! A maccas party is for the child, not the adults! There was nothing cooler when I was younger than going to a maccas party. Not all of us can afford extravagant, organic, tee-pee/make-up/trips to Luna Park for the entire class type parties. I’m absolutely dreading my kids starting primary school as I’ve heard nothing but negativity from judgemental mothers

Can you actually have a childhood without having at least 1 maccas birthday party? It would just be wrong! I had my 18th there

My kids always loved these. Yeah, it’s probably not the healthiest food wise, but isn’t junk food what parties are all about? They have a pay area and organised activities and no clean up for mum!

I always thought that kids enjoyed those parties.

I loved having maccas parties as a kid

That’s pretty sad for the family. People are really judgey these days!

Wow! It’s a sad day when a Macca’s birthday party is frowned upon. It’s about what your child wants and Macca’s parties are fuss-free, easy to organise, and everything is done for you. We loved having them and going to them.

Some good advice on here – just do what your child wants. They’re the ones that will remember their brithday party in years to come as opposed to these other mothers.

Forget about those women. Does your son want a Macca’s party? If so then have the birthday party there and if their Mum says no, then that is their problem. We don’t all have thousands of dollars to spend on parties. It’s his birthday not theirs.

Oh, please. This is all because so many parents have become super-competitive about so many aspects of life, including childrens’ birthday parties. Nowadays, among certain parents – and we all know them – it’s de rigeur to have the opulent (and very expensive) princess, Disney, Spider-Man, pirate, unicorn, beauty spa or what’ve party. They all try to top the previous party their child attended. Not every parent can afford, and not t every child wants, the over-the-top 6th birthday party. More importantly, not everyone is interested in outdoing othe parents, and showing off their professional photos of their party-planner event on social media. Some parents and children just want a simple, easy, small celebration with family and friends, and this should be encouraged and applauded. I think it’s time to start shaming the shamers, because clearly, they have no respect and should know better. .

I think it’s crazy how people behave over a children’s birthday party I don’t think there would be any child that wouldn’t like to go to a birthday party with play equipment icecream, chips, burgers, lollies and cake it’s a child’s party

The health debate can go overboard things like this are fine as an occasional treat. That being said the last time I went to one it was noisy and overcrowded.

A maccas party is a kids dream. We have maccas for a treat every now and then and my kids love that. The mother should not be put off by those stuck up mothers. They probably feed their kids off silver platters. Just stick to the plan after all it’s about making your child happy not them.

A party at Maccas is only special if they don’t eat it two or three times a week. So is that what those stuck-up mums are really doing? The only time we went to Maccas was for a birthday party, so it was really special in our house and I’ll bet that’s the way it is in your house too.

I loved having and attending parties at Hungry Jack’s as a kid. So I can’t see why having one at Macca’s should be any different. These mum’s appear to be stuck up and judgemental. If that’s fun for your kids then that’s all that matters. If kids are real friends then they will attend a party held wherever you want to hold it. Don’t let the haters put you off a catered party at maccas!

A party where someone else will entertain all the children, feed them and clean up after them, oh heck yes!!!
