[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids love them and expect them. So if you don't have them, kids will ask where they are (teach your kids not to ask!).

My kid is 12 but as a much younger child after one time he cluelessly asked about a goodie bag when there was none, I learned to tell him not to do that. And after the initial expectation is quashed I truly don't think kids care. [/quote]

I STILL feel shame about asking the parent hosting the party about a party favor. "I didn't get a party favor...?" She glared at me. "We're not doing them this year, and that was RUDE." [/quote]

Well she wasn’t wrong.  My kids know not to ask for or about party favors. Some people do them, but a lot don’t and it is rude to ask.  [/quote]

I agree it was rude of me. But I was four. And there'd been a goody bag at every single birthday party I'd ever been to in my short life thus far. I genuinely didn't know that NOT having them was an option - it had just never occurred to me before. [/quote]

Please, you were probably 8.  4 yr olds don’t notice or care. But someone had to tell you it was rude, should have been your mom, but I guess it never occurred to her you’d ask for a goody bag [/quote]

A four year old is much more likely to do this than an 8 year old. I definitely remember one of my kids in preschool saying "but I didn't get a goody bag" as we were walking out of a party once.[/quote]
