[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m like you OP. I respond immediately, even if to say I’m a maybe because of childcare etc, then I update. I hate it when people just don’t respond for days……..[/quote]

I wonder if there’s a consensus on this?  I wait — because I’d rather give a firm Yes or No when I know for sure. Would people really rather have an answer right away that’s a “Maybe”?  To me that seems like it would make it harder to plan if someone has to wait for multiple Maybes to actually get confined one way or another. [/quote]

I'd rather give a firm yes or no and I'd rather people we invite to do the same. I don't want "maybe" responses as it makes it harder to plan, as you said. However, I don't know why it takes some people so long to determine if their answer is 'yes' or 'no.' I understand sometimes it may be a few days until you get your work schedule if you're someone who works weekends or until you know for sure if your parents are visiting that weekend or whatever conflict there may be. But it shouldn't take longer than a couple days to know that info, right? I've had instances where I sent an invite a month in advance and had people not RSVP until a few days before. That, to me, is just rude. Most of the time you know at least a week in advance what your plans will be. Obviously sometimes there are different circumstances that make it hard/impossible to know til the last minute but that's rare for most people.[/quote]
