[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son wants an all-boys birthday party but he has a friend whose mom drags the little sister to all the parties.

She’s a sweetheart but we have a limited headcount and she would be the only girl at the party.

Should I just let her tag along anyway or should I tell the mom we only want boys?

The party involves an activity similar to laser tag.

I don't see what her gender has to do with it.

Surely, if your kid is old enough to play laser tag, then it's a drop off party right?  Just say "Just a heads up that we can't accommodate siblings due to the headcount, but feel free to drop off!"  [/quote]

I agree.  He is being a misogynistic jerk about this.

Some of you are trying so hard to make this a thing.[/quote]

Yeah, by about 1st or 2nd grade my daughters wanted girl only birthday parties. It’s totally normal for kids at that age to self-segregated with their same gendered friends. Not all kids and not forever but it’s fine.

OP, just say you can’t accommodate siblings and offer to drive the friend, if that helps. That’s also totally normal. [/quote]
