[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Something similar to this happened to us.  Had a birthday party at the local bowling alley.  One child RSVP'd YES and never showed.  My kid casually asked her why she wasn't there, and she said she doesn't like bowling.  A few things:
1) What parent allows that as an excuse to not go to a birthday party?
2) If the repulsion to bowling was that strong, why reply YES?  Why not go with the "we were out of town" response?

Never did hear from the parents.  Another kid was a no-show, but he was sick and the mom contacted me to let me know with her regrets.

Mind boggling.[/quote]

Oh geez. Some of you have lived very sheltered lives. The kid probably lied to cover up the real reason. My mom was abusive and would randomly not allow me to attend things. Maybe her parent is a drunk and was passed out. Maybe her parents were in the middle of a giant argument when they were supposed to go. Maybe the family’s one car broke down. Who knows? The poor kid was probably embarrassed.[/quote]

Wow, that's sad.  I bet you're right.  What kid doesn't want to go to a birthday party, even if bowling is not their thing?  My kids never turn down cake.  I actually hope that you're wrong, no offense.   :oops: [/quote]
