[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It was absolutely made to make me say no gifts. One said “do I need to bring anything (pause) like food...? What do you say to tho? Shopkins? [/quote]

It sounds like this person wasn't even asking about gifts in the first place.  If someone asks if they need to bring food to your party, you can say "no, we're providing pizza and cake!"  If they have a question about gifts they'll ask it.  Asking any question at all about your party is not begging you to say "no gifts."  You have a really noticeable chip on your shoulder and it's clouding your perception.

Other parent:  "Is it okay if we come a little late, we've got a soccer game first?"
OP: "FINE, NO GIFTS, MAKE MY KID MISERABLE YOU JUDGMENTAL HARPY!"[/quote]

she said "anything".. then proceeded to offer food. who brings food to birthday parties? these are not young adults but little kids.[/quote]

I know at least one person who has so much of the (Midwestern?) compulsion to never show up empty handed that she was very uncomfortable being told not to bring food to a birthday party. So it’s not out of the question that they were really asking about food  [/quote]
