[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get what you all are saying because hey we are American and this is our culture. But take a look at yourselves and read back over some of these things. We are a totally individualistic non family oriented, non community oriented society. This is exactly why our society is so lonely. It is a much nicer weekend activity for our family to go to a party with kids of all ages, socialize a bit with other adults, have everyone together, build a community than to have one parent go for two hours with one sibling and then come back. And the comments about the siblings is just taking it too far - like there is no possible way a kid two years older could have fun at a kids party that is not their specific friend. Actually my kids know the siblings of their friends partly because of the parties (and school). Other cultures handle this in a much different way than we do and I can definitely see the positives in that.[/quote]

You don't get a free pass just because you think your other kids would enjoy it. Do you see how the party might blow up 2-3x and cause an issue for the hosts if everyone acted so selfishly? People need to think past their own needs here and see the big picture. [/quote]
