1) The Time of The Party:
You may as well just get used to the fact that ninety percent of the invitations you receive will be for parties that start when your kids are normally in the their pyjamas and end when you are normally in yours, and on a school night to boot. No use tut-tut-tutting. Brazilian kids go to bed late and there isn't any amount of head shaking and finger wagging that is going to change that. I get over it by simply not going to those parties. Believe me, going to a mere one in ten of them is more than an adult can handle without medication anyway.
