[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No. At 9 and 11 they are old enough to help.  Family is important. [/quote]

Help with what?  Passing out cupcakes for 5 minutes of a 90 minute party?  They won’t be allowed to help with the gym activities for liability reasons.[/quote]

Help with whatever random crap comes up. Directing a kid to the bathrooms.  Getting a straw in a juice box. Helping Dad haul all the gifts to the car. PLAYING WITH THEIR SISTER AT HER BIRTHDAY PARTY. Because that's what you do for immediate family.  [/quote]

Have you actually been to a My Gym party?[/quote]

+1.  Depending on strict they are, the older kids may not even be allowed in the gym room.[/quote]

No, they would allow them in. I went to my daughter’s friend 2 year old party a few years ago. The mother’s older kids (13, 15) from her first marriage was there. They just hung around and didn’t look bored at all. They were amused by their sister’s little friends.

I can’t believe OP would just have her boys sit at home!!![/quote]
