[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]

You should RSVP no in this case. The host family shouldn't have to pay for another kid because you are too cheap to pay for a babysitter.[/quote]

This.  Your inability to take care of your own kid is not my problem, and he doesn't need to be at a party he's not invited to.  Keep it up and it will impact your other kid too.  [/quote]

That’s funny!  Actually I find that is you are hosting a party, you have have the ability to handle all the kids invited either yourself, hired out, or from the “party host” of whatever venue you booked- or a combination of all three.  It is rude and inconsiderate to plan a party, then require a parent to come
and stay the whole time, then be so super worked up about if a sibling comes and “your numbers”

These parties are stupid. Sorry.  [/quote]

If you can’t find alternative arrangements for your other child, then just decline the invite.  It’s totally fine!  But the family is not obligated to invite all your kids, and it’s rude to ask to bring a sibling.[/quote]
