[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unless they decide they want a joint party, two parties. Each kid gets their own party. [/quote]

Yep.   But we don’t throw lavish events - cupcakes from a box, a Costco thing of chips, and a playground = party.  [/quote]

Ugh.  I hate those parties.  Especially the ones like that where you are expected to bring a gift. [/quote]

+ 1. I’m sorry, PP, but I really hate those parties too unless it’s absolutely a no gift party.  [/quote]

DP but what's wrong with that kind of a party? What does a gift have to do with the type of party thrown?[/quote]

It’s a gift-grab.  My kids go to that park twice a week and having cupcakes there isn’t special or worthy of the parents spending $25 bucks for a gift.  [/quote]

Good lord. What is wrong with people??  In my experience, kids have a great time at these playground parties.  They get to run around and play with their friends and eat sugar. Honestly, the adults seem to have equal amounts of fun/boredom standing around a playground or standing around Little Gym or a trampoline park.  Or if they drop off, it's no different.  I would never base bringing a gift on how "worthy" I though the party venue is.  But then, I'm not a snob.[/quote]
