| No, you did not commit to host this kid’s birthday party. You committed to a play date, during which I assume you’d have some kind of food. You suggested you’d provide cupcakes. So the k my thing you did was commit to a pretty simple snack and to sing a four line song you already know. Nbd |
Because it sounds like the kids are little. I'd get the mini cupcakes. |
In my experience the kids like mini-cupcakes better. Op didn’t say how old the kids are, but I’ve found the mini ones easier to serve for young kids. |
Kids are 2-4 years old. |
| Uh, give them cupcakes. |
| yes you should buy cupcakes. |
Yeah, definitely get mini cupcakes. Kids that age rarely eat an entire full sized cupcake. |
| You could also bake some cupcakes from a mix and let the kids decorate them to keep them occupied for a while. |
| Yes, you committed to providing cupcakes. At 2-4, for someone else's kid, I would do mini cupcakes. |
Presumably she's already hosting a birthday party so why should she host two just because you're having a playdate that day? |
+1 this is not a big deal. Buy the mini cupcakes for $4.99 at the grocery store, look for a birthday candle in your junk drawer and sing for the kid. So simple! |
| Cupcakes at snack time. Done. |
You are cheap! You suggested the cupcakes and now you are wondering why the mother isn't bringing them. |
OP's post was nowhere near as dramatic as your reply lol |
Such a nasty response. OP just as asked for input. She said nothing about cost and even mentioned picking up paper goods. |
