[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have an only (age 7) and I feel like I deal with this constantly. All of my child's play dates are drop offs. 
I don't understand why mothers feel its ok to ask me if their other child can tag along? I know you have the child. I didn't invite them for a reason. Why must you put me on the spot?
I'm asked 9/10 times, or it's assumed that their other child can come too and they show up at my door. 
Now I'm having to address it beforehand and make sure they know that only my child's friend is invited.
I've even had moms ask me on more than one occasion if their other children can come to my child's birthday party. I wouldn't mind as much if its in a home setting but at a venue when i'm paying by the head, that's ridiculous.
Why do parents with multiple kids think this is ok?[/quote]

As a mom with two kids close in age, I deal with this ALL THE TIME. 90% of the time, I show up with one child (you know, the kid who was on the invite) for the mom to ask, "Where is Larlo?" I still only bring one child regardless, but maybe these moms have had similar experiences - and figure that they should just ask. [/quote]
