[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After your daughter declined the invitation, they reached out to someone else, and now they are at max capacity. Nothing weird except you starting a thread on DCUM about this, as if it is some big deal.

When we plan a sleepover party, we have a max guest limit. If someone declines, we usually pinch-hit with my local cousin’s kids (and vice-versa, we don’t stand on ceremony about “B-list” blah blah blah, we’re family). Once the max is hit, the max is hit. Sorry ‘bout ya.[/quote]

Its not a sleepover. What is "max capacity" at a large suburban house?[/quote]

Max capacity is whatever they determine it to be regardless of house size. If they decide 5 kids is all they want to deal with that’s max capacity. Not everyone wants hordes of kids in their house. [/quote]

+100. My husband has a debilitating illness, and not everyone knows about it. So all of you with your “they should do this” and “they should do that” can cram it and mind your business. We do the best we can to carry on life to its fullest, as much as we can. But his illness drains us both of our energy and our overall capacity—not to mention our finances—so we do have to limit things when it comes to hosting and socializing. Mind your business. Some of you seriously have no clue what other people are dealing with, and your “they should” attitude is beyond disgusting. [/quote]

Same situation—sorry for all you are going through, PP.

My mind also immediately went to: you just have no idea what else this person is managing, including things that may have arisen since sending the invite that may have her regretting planning a party in the first place. Not everything is about you or about things you know about. Assume that something like this is not.[/quote]
