[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would much rather someone ask to bring a sibling than to decline the party because they didn't have childcare. I have had people ask, and I don't find it rude at all - this area has tons of single parents and families where one parent travels for work, and I don't expect anyone to go to ridiculous lengths in order to adhere to "perfect" etiquette when the issue in question is a child's birthday party.[/quote]

Clearly you have home parties or park parties or swimming parties.  It doesn't quite work like this when the venue has a limited capacity.  My kids both know the same birthday child but only one was invited to his party.  It is at our pool.  Wouldn't it be great if I could drop off one at the party and keep the other at the pool to just play?  (After all, we are members?)  But then it would be too difficult to not have my other non invited kid to want cake and a favor so even though it is a weekend and going to the pool is my right, I'm purposefully not doing that to keep the uninvited kid from the fray.  It isn't all about you (the uninvited person).[/quote]
