[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve brought siblings to Chuck E Cheese style parties a couple of times BUT I would never dream of asking the host family to have siblings join the party, let alone pay for them!  I always pay for their entry and food and goodies and entertain them away from the actual party (and yes, it’s in cases where [b]I do not have alternate childcare[/b]).[/quote]

What does this have to do w you deciding to take your other (non invited) kids to a bday party venue? Why not just drop the invited kid off and go home w your other kids? Why do you need childcare at all? Wouldn’t you be taking care of your kids regardless of whether one is attending a party or not?[/quote]

DP.  Doesn’t sound like she’s talking about drop off parties.  It also sounds like she’s being super polite.[/quote]

Ok but if it’s not a drop off party and she is in another area supervising her other kids, what is the point of her even being there? Usually if it’s not a drop off party that’s bc the kids are young enough that the hosts want parents to stay and help out w their kids but this pp comes to a party and goes to a totally different area w her other kids so she wouldn’t be helping watch the invited kid so it basically IS like she’s just dropping her kid off anyway…[/quote]
Because this isn’t actually about childcare. It’s about making sure that one kid doesn’t get to do a fun activity that their sibling doesn’t. Gotta make sure both do the same activity.[/quote]
