[quote=Anonymous]This is really ridiculous. Yeah yeah yeah, manners. Look I'm all about please and thank you, but I have FOUR KIDS. Do you realize how many birthday invites we get? I hate talking on the phone like nothing else, especially to people I haven't met or don't know well. It's awkward.

I'm not really hostile about RSVPing, but it is obnoxious that y'all are hostile (at least by the first page) about us non- or late- RSVPers. I understand the point of them, but apart from being a busy parent of four, I'm shy and socially awkward, it's really hard for me to work up the nerve to call people.

And when I have 4 kids running around screaming and playing and I'm juggling cooking dinner or running off to soccer practice or football games or band practice, it is honestly hard to find the time and a quiet place. I'm not perfect, I do try to be, but RSVPing is just another thing on my list sometimes. Sorry.

This world was designed for type A extroverts with little forgiveness for introverts. Maybe make it easier for us busy introverts and give us options- provide a number we can text to or an email address- I'd RSVP to any party the minute I get an invite with that included! Meet in the middle huh? [/quote]
