[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids are a package deal, but people who know us know this. I do usually ask if siblings are welcome, but for some people it is assumed. Unless you specified siblings were not invited, I don't think it's rude.[/quote]

You are beyond rude and entitled.  Personally, I wouldn't invite your kids ever if you bring them as a package deal.[/quote]

How am I "beyond rude"? Package deal means only invite us if you can accommodate siblings. If you can't, then we politely decline. I don't find that rude at all, but maybe you had a bad day and needed to vent.[/quote]

NP here:  I"m having a great day and also think you are rude and entitled.  Your kids can't handle the disappintment of not attending a party to which they weren't invited?  You can't bear teaching your kids that sometimes it isn't about one of them?  You can't bear allowing one child to celebrate with his/her friend?  WTH?  Um, we all have to learn these lessons at some point.  You are doing your children a tremendous disservice with your attitude.  Good luck to them.[/quote]

DEFINITELY HAVING A BAD DAY ... hopefully it will get better for you. I think my children will grow up to be just fine and know how to handle "disappointment" :-) [b]However, considering their ages and a host of other factors, no, they can not attend separately, yet.[/quote][/b]

Please enlighten us as to why one of your children cannot celebrate a birthday party with a child his or her own age without siblings in tow?  Because clearly several of us do not understand.  The fact that you resort to childish retorts rather than explaining suggests there might not be a very good rationale, but give it a go.[/quote]

Rationale is as follows: 1) They are too young to attend on their own, so I would need to be there 2) We are military, husband deployed and have no family around and 3) That would require finding a sitter, and quite frankly, I'm not doing that for a kids party at this age

This is the choice I make for my kids, and I am open about it if we are invited to something and have NEVER had anyone have a problem with it... Either WE can come, or we can't and the families understand and no one is hurt by it.

I'm not sorry if you don't agree or understand this rationale, but it's not your family to be worried about.[/quote]
