[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here!  Wow, I didn't realize how much of a hot issue this was. Our schedule changed and now we don't need to bring DS2. But now I know that  future party hosts may feel strongly about sibling attendance. I also did not realize drop off parties start so early.  6 feels so young!

I also saw a lot of "find somebody to watch DS2" ...are there really people that pay a babysitter to watch siblings for 2-3 hours?  I can't imagine paying someone to do that but maybe will have to in the future.

Thanks to everyone for your opinions.

You're paying to have him jump at the play place, so what's the difference? Either way you're paying to keep him occupied.[/quote]

About 60-100? Not OP. My babysitter has a 4 hour minimum. [/quote]

Then find a different one. I would also suggest finding one so you can actually get to know the other parents without being distracted by a toddler. So that next time you can ask one of the parents (not a host) to keep a special eye on your kid. And then you can return the favor some time. Getting to know the other parents is valuable. Chasing a toddler around hiding from every one is not.[/quote]
