[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not a parent but mentor a family. Through an activity I take one of the kids to, he has been invited to a birthday party. Birthday invite says "no gifts, please." Do we follow this? Bring a gift anyway (and if so, ideas? I had been thinking about a card game like uno or taco cat goat cheese pizza, plus some candy or Takis or something)? Still bring a card? Birthday kid is early elementary and is dcum middle class (lives in mostly gentrified DC neighborhood). I want the kid we mentor to fit in as much as possible![/quote] "No" means "No". Those suggesting you bring something are trying to get you ostracized or start conflict. No gifts at parties are for two reasons. Either the kid/parents doesn't want the typical bday gifts people bring, or it's to spare the feelings of the poorer or more awkward kids who cannot afford or wouldn't know what cool gifts to bring.[/quote]
