[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm one of the PPs who would be fine with a small, masked, outdoor party. No eating.

Part of why you'll get no sympathy is that, as it's been almost a year, most of us have kids who didn't get birthday parties. You can celebrate at home, no guests. It's fine, I promise. My kid is young so we got a helium tank and a bunch of balloons -- and it made her day. Other friends got special food and a movie, or a bigger gift than usual. (Certainly many kids got nothing special and they were also fine.)

My 7 year old understands why we didn't have a party. If your kid is old enough to notice the party they are old enough to understand why this year is different.[/quote]

Well I don’t think that last bit is true. A 3 or 4 year old is certainly old enough to notice the absence of a party if they had one last year but they aren’t old enough to understand why they can’t have one this year.

But I think the better point is that there are ways to do this with minimal risk that are still fun, and we’ve suggested them, and OP still keeps trying to make it riskier. Do it outside with masks. That’s very low risk. If it’s too risky for some parents, they won’t come. But it’s a perfectly reasonable party.[/quote]
