[quote=Anonymous]This isn't as bad as some of the answers here, but there was a girl in DD's class who would pass out invitations 1-2 days before the party.

These parties would go on for 5-6 hours. They wouldn't do the fun stuff (cake, piñata, opening presents) until the very end so we were stuck the entire time because DD didn't want to miss the best parts.

Why didn't I just drop off? This family would literally let 6-7 year old guests ride around on ATVs. Alone. And while their daughter may have been experienced driving them, mine certainly wasn't and I wasn't going to leave her unattended.

The cherry on top is because the invitations were such short notice, I didn't have time to get a present. Didn't even have time to swing by Target for a gift card (I'm a working mom and I had to clear things just to be able to attend). To this day, the family complains I didn't bring a gift.

Luckily they're now in different social groups so we aren't invited anymore. Her daughter has also developed into quite the mean girl so we're happy to avoid.[/quote]
