[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In this situation, we usually bring the birthday child a copy of one of our favorite books and a card.  [/quote]

I would hand it back to you and ask if you read the invitation where I said NO GIFTS!  Also, I do not want more trash with a card.  Do what people ask![/quote]

Why do people refuse to follow this very simple request?  Mind boggling…[/quote]

Why do you have an issue with your kids getting a gift?[/quote]

Not your concern.  You don’t get to decide how other people parent their kids.  If they say “no gifts” just don’t bring a gift (or trash like cards or stickers pr bubbles or whatever).  Stop trying to control how other people choose to celebrate/host!!![/quote]

I don’t bring stuff like that and real gifts.  Don’t have a party if you don’t want gifts.  You don’t get to control gifts. [/quote]

Don't go if "No gifts" is too hard for you.[/quote]

What about being a gracious host and just saying "thank you?" Some of you have zero tact and manners. Donate the gift if you're that adamant but don't be an a-hole at a kid's party because your commands weren't followed to the letter.[/quote]

Manners come in by respecting the host's request.  Why can't people do that?

I know a kid who would be ok (ish) with a party, but for some reason gifts from others overwhelmed him.  He had no gift parties.  He just wanted to play with friends.[/quote]

So you ditch your manners if someone else doesn't have any? That doesn't make you the better person. It's tit for tat.[/quote]
