Entertainers certainly have a lot of hats to wear for their gigs, and this includes those who put on a show at birthday parties.
Birthday party performers have to make sure attendees are entertained, and they also must ensure that the parents of the birthday child and guests are satisfied with their act.
While many parents are in a good mood for the party and friendly toward the performer that has been hired...
...others can be a bit much to handle.
If you entertain at birthday parties, we want to know about your experiences interacting with parents.
Have you dealt with parents who were overbearing, demanding or disrespectful?
And, conversely, have you been hired by parents who were generous and made your job a lot easier?
To all of the birthday party performers out there, please share the worst and best parents you've ever encountered in this line of work. Your response could be featured in a future BuzzFeed Community post!
