[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Simply give the time as "Drop off at noon and pick up at 4". People should get the hint. I have 3 kids ranging from 9-14 and we have never had parents bring siblings. Parties are always drop-off and so I assume the same when my kids receive invites. [/quote]

NP. Well, PP, you have good social skills and can pick up on cues. Some people are just clueless.

OP, we have parents like that in my kid's class. Show up with a spouse and 2-3 uninvited siblings to EVERY party. If the space truly cannot accommodate extras (or they don't want to) other parents have started being really explicit on the invites. "Please drop off your 2nd grader at 2; pick up is at 4. We are so sorry that we cannot accommodate siblings and other family members! We hope that your 2nd grader will be able to attend." All the other parents know it is on there because of the families who show up with everyone.

I didn't put that info on my child's latest invitation because I thought "who wants to hang out at a crappy bowling alley?" My mistake. Mom RSVP's for the whole family, 1 invited kid, 2 parents, and 3 siblings. I guess I will just get them their own lane? So weird.[/quote]
