[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not me. It’s more important for me that my son celebrates his sister’s birthday than to go to another friend’s bday, even if it’s more fun. I also feel it’s a teachable moment that family comes first.[/quote]

I agree IF the party was at the OP's house.  It's at My Gym so the older brothers are already naturally excluded from most of the activities because of their age.  This is the same thing that would happen if the older brother wanted a paintball party with his friends.  The 3 yo wouldn't be going to that party either, because her age would exclude her.  I think it's OK for the brother to miss because of the venue.[/quote]

Op here. Since almost 3yo was born, we have hosted at home and venue parties for the boys. Last year, we purposely hosted their parties during her nap time so we could leave her home.

The boys’ birthdays are coming up and doubtful it will be a party she will attend. Last year, we had a laser tag party at the house for one of the boys when she was napping. She woke up in time for cake. If she was awake, she would have gotten in the way and potentially gotten trampled on.[/quote]
