[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would have thought you were overreacting and would have rolled my eyes—but I also would accept I’m not entitled to your home or time! There are issues where we say “reasonable minds can disagree” and this is one. [/quote]

This is where I am.  I personally would have proceeded with one parent home with the sick kid, and the other daughter getting her communion party.  I don’t think both parents need to be home attending to the sick kid, and I don’t think the other sibling should have lost her communion party.  But I understand why a parent might have wanted a joint party for both kids, and that’s ok too.

I don't think I would cancel something I am hosting for a kid sick with a cold.  Kids are always sick.  One parent may have to be more attentive  but that's it. I do believe in letting people know you have a sick kid and letting them make their own choice.

Your family sounds disappointed, no need to take this to heart.  Maybe don't volunteer to host if you cancel plans so easily.  Some people are rain or shine type folks. Halloween this past week was canceled for some due to rain. Others were like put on a rain coat and let's go.  Different personalities. [/quote]

"Cancel plans so easily"?  Stuff it. Her kid was sick and she made the best choice for her family. Also my kids weren't "always sick". What a bunch of hooey.[/quote]
