[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I may be an outlier here but I think  she should go. I bet the same parents who complain about their teens being self centered and entitled are the same parents who would give their 16 year old a pass to attend her younger cousin’s bday party. You are a FAMILY! That’s what family members do. We are lucky that be surrounded by extended family and all the cousins, young and old, attend each others bday parties. [b]The older kids take care of the younger ones[/b]. It’s just part of the responsibilities of being a member of a family.[/quote]

Wrong!  And this is why many older kids don't want to have kids. They have already raised yours.[/quote]

Are you serious ?! Taking care of younger cousins for a couple of hours once a month or so at family gatherings now means “ raising them” ?!
No wonder this country is in serious decline. Very few people value the importance of family ! [/quote]

No this country is not in serious decline because one 16 year old doesn't want to attend a five year cousin's birthday party.  Get a grip.  My Mom was the youngest of 7 and was expected to help babysit all her sisters/brothers kids for free. If she is forced to go she should be paid if she works.

Personally if I were her i would be sick and get to stay home that way.  The five  year old won't care![/quote]
