One parent stays home with sibs, the other parent takes kid to party. Anything else is super rude and presumptuous. [/quote]

Single mom here on a tight schedule…now what?[/quote]

Hire a babysitter or decline invitation for your kid.

Plenty of parents decline or don’t even RSVP because of siblings. I have had people say Johnny can’t come because his sister has a volleyball game. Many people give no excuse at all.

I have told host we can’t make it because I have other child. Some people say being sibling. Others say nothing and accept your no. I haven’t done this for years since kids have been drop off ages. If 10-15 kids are invited, we usually know at least half or often all the kids. It is very easy to get a ride for my child. If I don’t know many/any people, I have asked birthday child’s parent to take my child and they do! We have only done this once and the birthday child’s mom was already taking 4 other kids. [/quote]
