[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh who cares! So what if a kid can't have a second piece of pizza. Kids barely go two hours without eating these days. They'll live.[/quote]

So the people whose kids didn't get to eat, can just take their birthday presents home with them.  With 25 kids, 12-15 gifts should be plenty for them, right?  They'll live.

What a stupid idea.  The point is that if you are going to bother to host a party, stop being cheap and order food for everyone.  If this is outside your budget, don't host a venue party.  Either host a party at home, at a park or don't host a party.  But having a party where you cheap out and are a bad host is worse than not having a party.[/quote]

If you want, sure, have your kid take their present home? Most people aren’t hosting children’s parties for the $20 gifts.

You are really worked up over a second slice of pizza. I suggest you bring a heavy snack with you if this is such a pernicious issue in your life. You can also text the hostess and ask whether the parents are eating too. Take some control of your own outcomes OP.[/quote]

I’m the OP-and not the person who you are replying to here. I know it seems wild to you-but you are in the minority here.  Also, you made almost the exact same comment further up. You really invested yourself in this for someone who doesn’t care what other people do. And also, it sounds like you have some personal food issues.[/quote]

I am the PP they were replying to.  Not only are in the minority, but they are socially dysfunctional.  It is not required to have a party, but if you are going to host a party, you should at least be hospitable.  Having insufficient food for the party attendees, is just plain rude and inhospitable.  If you aren't going to serve enough food, then don't host.  Find a cheaper option that you can afford to provide adequate hospitality for your guests.[/quote]
