If the invite is addressed to your kid and it’s drop off them no sibling is invited. Siblings are never k voted unless it explicitly says so.

This. The default is no siblings unless it specifically says “siblings welcome” or sibling is named. Were some of you raised by wolves??

Some of us were raised in places a lot less uptight.

So then get with the program.

I always invite siblings and we have an only.

If you aren’t comfortable with the particular party, you simply decline the invitation.

Not OP but it doesn’t need to. She said it was addressed specifically to each kid, which everyone knows means it’s only for that kid. Without “siblings welcome” or the sibling’s name being on the invite you should be assuming a drop off birthday at a party place is clearly only for the kid in the same grade.

You are 💯 correct and ^I^ know this but many rude, clueless people need to be spoon fed instructions.

Why do you care if one parent stays? I never got parents like you.

It’s not about being uptight. It’s the birthday child choosing the type of party they want with THEIR friends. There is nothing wrong with an elementary child wanting to celebrate with their same aged friends.

I would never drop off my 7 year old at a party. I have seen parents at “closed” venues not watch their children at all.

They had a whole gym just to themselves at a private venue. Literally every other parent dropped off. Our entire class does drop off parties.

Only overprotective parents who want to gossip stay. You’re right OP. You say club, was it a country club? If so your class isn’t as well bred as you and shouldn’t be invited in the future.

I have no interest in gossiping but I do have an interest in not leaving my kid with a stranger in a public venue and hoping they will take good care of them.

I don’t understand this at all. My kids are much older, so maybe this is something new. When my kids were young, I never once had anyone ask if they could bring a sibling also. Is this something new?

[Anonymous]

Maybe they thought it was a location were they could pay for the sibling to play independently of the party. I heard these stories but have never witnessed them in person.

For a drop off party it should not have to be said. If it’s a drop off for a 7,8,9 yr old party - the host is not babysitting your 5 yr old .

The default in my book is “ the more the merrier” - were YOU raised by wolves?

This. Even if the parent stays it’s just awkward.

Sometimes it is more complicated if they are twins, but agree that different age siblings is taking advantage of the event.
