[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]

Work.  Many many people have work obligations on weekends.  My physician spouse spends two weekends a month in the hospital.  As do many of my friends’ husbands, or they have spouses that travel frequently.  I don’t think I know anyone where both parents have the entire weekend free from work every weekend [/quote]
