[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is part of the reason why we no longer those types of "event" birthday parties.  ITA, that is rude. The invite was for x child because the kid is friends with x not with the sibling. Why do people insinuate their other children into these birthday parties. It's like inviting yourself to a party you were not invited to.[/quote]

People bring siblings because they don’t have other childcare.  
 I have never had a parent ask to bring a sibling to a drop off party.

If you can’t accommodate siblings at all, then tell the person asking that you can’t have Larlo’s brother there, but you will keep an eye on Larlo during the party.[/quote]

If you can't go because of child care issues, decline the invitation. That's really it, folks.[/quote]

Not everyone feels the way you do.  If I don’t want you at my kids birthday party, then I won’t invite you.  I am happy to make a small accommodation to have a wanted guest present.  [/quote]

Same. If you’ve been invited, I want you there and will help ensure that you can make it. Thank goodness real life isn’t like DCUM.  At younger ages where parents most attend the party, I completely understand the need to bring a sibling. I have always had people ask. If the venue can accommodate space-wise, I say yes. I have had to say no, and saying NO is not that hard, people!  [/quote]
