[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't invite this person the next time[/quote] Not fair to the kid. Circumstances I can think of when friends parents seemed flakey were - one parent going through major depression and before it was treated had bad days and couldn't get out of bed - domestic violence situation -special needs child didn't time melt downs to always avoid birthday party dates for their siblings Like is easier when you assume that people are trying their best. And if you know you're the type of person who would be annoyed by no shows so an expensive party (which is normal!) just have lower key parties. My kids love rec center or playground birthdays with juice boxes, pizza, Betty crocker sheet pan cake or grocery store cupcakes as much or even more than structured venue parties. They just want to play.[/quote]
