Try to get a couple parents to help you manage (or siblings if you have any). At scouting we try to have at least 4 adults for 35 kids, which is manageable. Definitely start them with some active games like tag or any variation of it (i.e. cops and robbers). Our kids also love dodgeball and buskruit (wikipedia tells me it's called "kick the can" in english). Having them run around for half an hour or so will get them to release a bit of their boundless energy (and it'll get them thirsty, expect to have to pass around drinks 45-60 minutes in). Try to do as much outside as you can, 35 kids playing inside can get LOUD and quite overwhelming, especially if you're managing them on your own.

If you're starving, yes, but I would argument that you can do other stuff like scrolling Reddit while the sandwich is in the oven. And if it's just plain old toast with something on it it won't take too long either and you could fit at least 9 toasts in the oven at once whilse you have to do them one by one with the iron... maybe two if the iron is big enough.

Loving the idea of no sweets til the end! It's not at my house thankfully, it'll be at a local hall so no bubbles or water fights but I might see if I can figure out a way to incorporate some party games without a winner 😂 last party we were at half the kids cried their eyes out when they were out

Have you asked him if this is what he wants? Not trying to be all negative but this sounds like a nightmare , especially if he didnt want to give you any names at all.

Its his birthday and the way you are wording this sounds like you're planning it without his feelings in mind.

Please ignore my comment if im looking at it the wrong way, maybe im just overthinking it... Im just worried that it might create a very lasting memory if it he doesnt want to be a part of it.

(source: I have that memory, Ive cringed over it for 25 years)

Time to get creative! Id load up on as many cheap snacks as possible. Maybe make tiny sandwiches? Is there a theme you can tie everything together to? As far as games go, water balloon fight? Tons of bubble soap and wands? If you have a backyard, you could set up random small carnival games where "everyone is a winner" and they can get candy for winning at the end? (that way you don't deal with the sugar high)

Homie what? Did you even read the story? He hired a prostitute to time it out to make her jealous, that’s deranged and abusive. She even was like “okay” about it too, so you can’t even claim she wasn’t solid with the polyamory. He did psycho shit, she did healthy polyamory with open consent
