Yes. -OP
And how exactly are they “strong arming” others or influencing them? I really don’t get it. Other than vocally expressing their own opinion- which they are allowed to do, how can they possibly influence anyone on what they do for their own children?
OP said other families are spreading the word that birthday parties are only for little kids. That is bizarre. It is one thing to choose not to have a party for your kids but to tell your 7 year old that nobody their age should be having a party is not normal behavior for parents.
This is likely OPs interpretation. I highly doubt they are telling they are “spreading the word” to anyone other than their own kid. What kids say to each other, who cares? It’s not like they are amending the HOA or PTA bylaws to include to kid parties after age 7. Do what you want, as always
