[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have no idea when this trend started, but I find it super odd. I suspect I'm younger than most women on this board, and never ever in my (very urban, very diverse, coastal area childhood) did anyone's sibling show up at any of our parties. As for it being the norm in some cultures -- sure, maybe so; but it certainly hasn't been the norm in American culture![/quote] I think this is a change that came in when parents staying for birthday parties became a thing. I'm almost older than you, my oldest kid is 20, and the idea that parents would stay was around by then. In contrast, when I was a kid, unless it was a family party with all the relatives, no one stayed. I've looked through the pictures, and even the party when I turned 4 (the first party I can find evidence of) was just kids and my mom. [/quote]
