[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because no one wants to hassle with finding and  paying $$$ for a babysitter for the other sibling so they can go sit a jungle joes with a bunch of 4 yr olds and parents they don’t know.  It is cheaper and easier to bring the other child and pay their entrance fee.[/quote]

Isn't there another parent? [/quote]

What does this add?  Maybe, maybe not.  Maybe there are multiple siblings and the other parent is attending the older kids' sporting events. Maybe the other parent works on weekends. Maybe one parent takes care his or her own ailing parents on the weekends.

For a lot of families, the other parent is may not be available, is on call, is out of town...many reasons.  [/quote]

There is one family in our circles who always brings siblings to parties. The siblings sometimes even bring friends. I’m almost certain that family is paying for their other children. On the evite, they only rsvp for one child.

My preschool kid once went to Chuck E. Cheese for a party. Instead of asking, I told my elementary child that he is not part of the party. Even if they invite him, don’t join. I invited his friend to come too and they got their own table. Of course the host said he could join and I said no, he is here with another friend.

There were a few times during the preschool years when I did ask if I could bring a sibling. DH was either on call or deployed. Host always said yes. If host said no, that would totally have been fine. We just wouldn’t have gone.[/quote]
