Hispanics and birthday party's

EVERYONE was invited-siblings and parents. There was ample food and amazing music. It was over-the-top in a good way not in a display of wealth way. Lots of love and happiness.

Noticed that today. Great party

Ain't. Neither is yours.

I'm not the PP, but I can see that PP's parody sure went WAY over your head.

Pretty sure it's only in the U.S. that people find it appropriate to exclude families...

You are wrong.

Yes, it's assumed that the family will come. Luckily in Latino culture parties are about fun and togetherness!

I'm not Hispanic and invite families as well.

Please see the many posts here on DCUM fretting about extra siblings or parents staying at parties. Most presumably posted by white folks.

Every place where good manners are observed. I'm so tired of this kid-is-invited-so-the-whole-family-goes. The person NAMED ON THE INVITATION goes, and that is the only person who attends!

And OP, you mean parties, not party's. How does anyone make this mistake anymore?!

This was a specific question about Latino culture. Get it?

Actually you could read it as the possessive.

Hispanics are White people too, dummy.

To be technical, not all of them. To be fair, you have to know the pp meant that in a cultural sense.

Maybe she plays dumb on the internet.

I think most people care about siblings not attending because they are paying a price per child at a location. It sounds like this party was either at home or in a venue where there wasn't a price per child.

I guess I've been here in the US too long because when I invite one of my kid's friends... I am only inviting the friend. I would have a heart attack if the whole family showed and stayed.
