[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I have never in my entire parenting life encountered ANYONE who has these rigid attitudes about birthday parties that people on DCUM seem to have. [/b]Of course someone can hang out in a laser tag place, or chuck e cheese, or a trampoline park, or any other public place with anyone they like whenever they want.

As a parent, if I have a kid with me who wasn't invited to the party, it IS much easier to drop the invited child off and take the other child somewhere else than to try to keep them corralled in the party space but out of the way of the party. So I would recommend that to the OP's husband, since it is actually easier for him that way. But of course he can stay if he prefers.[/quote]

No one is going to actually SAY anything.  They are going to offer to host your child (after specifically NOT inviting them for whatever reason - money, space, preference, whatever), which may include paying for them to participate, and then offering them food, cake, drinks and a goody bag if they have an extra.  The point, is that it is rude as hell to do this - and I always invite siblings unless the space just won't accommodate them.  I would never say anything, to the offending party or anyone else, it is just rude.[/quote]

100 % agree with the bolded.

And at any rate, yhy on earth would any hosting family offer to pay for a sibling at a chuck e cheese kind of place? I would say "hey sibling! have fun!" and let them do their thing. But seriously--how often have any of you REALLY had anyone expect you to pay for the sibling? I think it is kind of an invented problem.

And YOUR party may not have the space for another child, but the venue certainly does. There are like, a 100 parties going at these things at any time. Just relax.[/quote]
