[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We always rsvp no to any party that doesn’t include siblings.  DH works on weekends and I’m not hiring a babysitter for a birthday party.  [/quote]

Same.  And it has nothing to do with cheapness.  It just isn’t worth the hassle for me to find a babysitter so I can spend 2 hrs  standing around in a bounce house warehouse.

If you are going to require parents to stay at your child’s party then you shouldn’t book it at such a place that siblings will be a huge problem. If you want to do this, just expect more no responses than otherwise [/quote]

Where is the other parent?

I always tag teamed with Dh when kids were younger. If we didn’t know the family and kid was just a random classmate, we would decline. If it was a close friend, both boys would have been invited. Most of the time, I would take turns with Dh taking invited kid to party.

Now I have 3 kids and parties are drop off.[/quote]

I always think this question is odd.  [b]I don’t know anyone with two parents that both have every weekend off[/b], and a lot of people don’t have flexible work schedules.  These parties are always in the middle of the day and not really designed around a typical work day.

Really? I have friends who are doctors and military and they work weekends, but at least half my friends, if not more, have two working spouses, neither of whom works on the weekends. [/quote]
