[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Accept the invitation and on the day, I'm assuming a weekend, your son is sick - and you let them know.

Unless of course, this is going to cause them to lose money. It only works if it doesn't unravel their plans.[/quote]
That's rude. I'm sure they are planning food and drink, perhaps party favors.

OP, just define the invite. Why do we treat kids differently than adults. Would YOU attend an activity you have no interest in participating? Of course not. You'd decline or say you were busy.

RSVP with regrets that you have other plans.[/quote]

if it were true, would it be "rude"? No, it wouldn't so don't be so ridiculously precious.  :roll: [/quote]

Cancelling at the last minute is not rude.  Accepting when you know you will not be attending, even if everyone in your family is healthy and available, is rude.  You are accepting and committing the other parents to hosting your child when you have no intention of actually attending.  If they were limited guests and saved a spot for your child, possibly not including another friend, then they are disappointed.  If they purchase food and treats and pay an admission, then they are out money.  Yes, it is rude to accept in the first place with that intent.[/quote]
