[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone hates your menu.[/quote]

It doesn't matter as long as the birthday child likes it.  When it's your birthday, you can decide the menu.[/quote]

Right, of course. Welcome to dcum, where 4 year olds call the shots. [/quote]

No...the mom is calling the shots by being fine with birthday kid preference. See how that works?

It’s one meal. It’s a kid’s birthday party. It’s fine. Really.[/quote]

OP never specified that it was the kid's preference, just that she is "keeping it simple". So it's about what's easiest for mom. See how that works? [/quote]

Yes, and? Even if that is 100% the case...good for her. I know I'm feeling a bit run down at the end of the school year, coming off of pretty busy time at work. Throw in months of dance classes and a recital and two hours of semi-parenting at a kid's birthday party at someone else's house and a hot dog with ketchup and relish sounds pretty good at the moment.

I like how there's no mention of dad at all on this thread. If the party menu is so freaking bad, maybe he can step up and cook a few things. Think he was the mom putting together the guest list, getting email addresses or phone numbers of the parents of any kid invitees, figuring out a time that would work for the majority of attendees, etc.?

It's a four-year-old's birthday party. And you're scoffing at the idea of a mom wanting to make it easy? Uh...yeah. There's a time to really put in entertaining effort. This ain't it. Kids are happy with a handful of M&Ms and the opportunity to bounce on a trampoline. Any parents looking for fine dining and ambiance at a child's birthday party can manage their disappointment and desperate hunger for a full two hours. [/quote]
