[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I appreciate that this can be a real problem but the suggestion that siblings need to be completely banned from public settings is unhinged.[/quote]

Can you quote who said siblings should be banned? Pretty much universally this is people taking a "siblings only" invite then RSVPing for 4 people. Weird that people are so incredulous that this has ever happened and arguing that the host must have forgotten to say "no siblings".[/quote]

It's because the people who are mad have taken 8 pages to answer whether they wrote "no siblings" and torpedoed every suggestion for self-help along the way.  It sounds like you can either talk to the parents who are doing this, or stop inviting their kids to the parties.  Or you can plan a party that can accommodate people who just show up without extra expense.  Or you can keep doing the same thing and venting on DCUM.[/quote]

Or you can make it known that this is not cool on places like here. I don't know why you ASSumed people don't write no siblings. And even if they didn't, it doesn't make it ok to just bring 7 random people. I know you think you have all the answers and want the thread to end with your advice, but that's not how things work. [b]Besides, OP wasn't asking for advice on this, she was pointing out that she is surprised people do this[/b]. A discussion ensued which really bothers you. Why are you so invested in this? Your participation isn't mandatory and feel free to keep scrolling.[/quote]

Which is weird, because OP does this.[/quote]

I do not do this. I do not bring siblings to parties. Once when my middle kid was in kindergarten, I took my 7yo and PAID for him. We did not join the kindergarten party. This was 7-8 years ago. [/quote]
