[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She doesn't know that it's $30/person.  It may be x amount up to a certain number and you have room.  In which case, adding the sibling doesn't affect the cost.  It was just a question, and she's letting you know it's no big deal; they have a backup plan.  Lighten up, say sorry but no, and move on.  Treat it as inquiry, not rudeness - you'll be a happier person.[/quote]

OP here.  That is a good point.  It may be that she doesn't know the cost (if you wanted to look, it is listed on the website).  But I think if the whole grade is clearly invited (when the invites come via the school, everyone knows the whole grade has been invited), you'd know the chances that adding an extra kid at no charge is pretty much nil.

Yes you are right, I don't think the mom's intention was to be rude, it is just an inquiry.  It's just a request that makes me feel uncomfortable.  And I am venting a bit about it.  I am thinking about saying yes, though I feel weird about not extending that same courtesy to all the families.  [/quote]
