[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We always rsvp no to any party that doesn’t include siblings.  DH works on weekends and I’m not hiring a babysitter for a birthday party.  [/quote]

You should RSVP no in this case. The host family shouldn't have to pay for another kid because you are too cheap to pay for a babysitter.[/quote]

Eh, yeah, PP.  That what I just said - I always RSVP no.  [/quote]

How old is your child? If not drop off age, it is ok to ask if you can bring a sibling.

When my husband was deployed, I would say my husband was deployed and if there was space for sibling and it was always yes. These were classmate parties and not all classmates can come.

I have also been asked am I sometimes would tell the parent I would let them know if there was space closer to the party date. This was the truth and reasonable.

If child is drop off age, you could just drop off.[/quote]

Why couldn't you get a babysitter?  My father was military and my mother never used whining guilt of "my husband is deployed," to bring all five children to another child's birthday party.  We all knew that only the invited child could attend party.  We also knew that only the birthday child received presents.  Hire a babysitter![/quote]

Not the PP but I like being with my kids on weekends and don’t want to hire a babysitter.  I’m not whining about it - it’s my choice - but sibling included parties are better for us with a 4 and two year old.  By the time they’re drop-off age, it won’t matter and will be their choice if they want to go or not.  [/quote]

+1. I don’t want to hire a babysitter either.  Missing another birthday party is NBD.  [/quote]
