[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]AT LEAST do so privately to me only so that the whole damn evite doesn't start asking the same thing, via comments. GOOD GRIEF.

I'm already paying hundreds for this activity gym party; thanks so much for causing a tidal wave that will cost me probably $100 more.

FIrst, off I had 2 kids within 20 months of each other and I had no idea this was a thing that was considered rude. As a new mom, you are constantly with your two kids who are close in age and you are also expected to take them to birthdays. Well what if I brought the younger sibling too? I mean, it might be 1 extra cupcake and I'd even pay for her "fare". She wouldn't bother anyone and I'd have my eye on her the whole time. Sorry for asking but thank you for declining in a kind way.[/quote]

NP. I also have 2 kids of the same gender less than 2 years apart, plus a baby, and zero childcare, so I understand the desire to want to bring them as a package deal, but it is so incredibly rude to do that. Honestly. INCREDIBLY rude.

The "kind" thing is for YOU to decline the invite saying that you don't have childcare for the sibling/s. If the mom wants sibling/s there, she'll say to bring them anyway. If she doesn't explicitly invite them, then you have your answer. In a very kind way and nobody had to be put on the spot.[/quote]
