[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1) was the party at MVRC in Fairfax? My DD went to a K party there and they don't have the penguins or buckets for the kids to hold onto, they don't have double bladed skates, and they don't have anyone to help skaters. I also cannot ice skate for health reasons, so I asked another parent who was going if she could help out my DD so she could go. I was nervous but DD had fun.

2) OP sounds gossipy for saying "another mother said they are having an ice skating party so the birthday girl can show off"  Who cares, it's the kid's party, if she wants to have an ice skating party that's her and her parents' call. Judging that is rude.

3). The money things is super classless. I always suspect people who say "bring something for charity" are going to take the tax write off. I know some people who purposely having big birthday parties with a charity theme so they can write off the entire cost as a fundraiser. I was shocked when the father told me. I don't discuss that with other people, except on an anonymous forum, but Ive heard this from two different families.

4) If my kid wanted to go, I would let them go if it worked for our schedule. Regardless of how wackadoodle the parents are, maybe the birthday girl is a nice kid.[/quote]

Speaking of judging PP, didn't you just judge when you made this post?

As for the money, I think the charity idea is fine if all the money goes to the charity (not half) and if the charity is specified. I actually think it is awesome if handled properly. But taking half of he money for birthday girl is beyond tacky.[/quote]
