[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree - find something else to do with the sibling.  We had an ice skating party where the parents could get discount tix for the public skate if they wanted.  A few families took advantage of this and then came to the party room  and ate the food (which was enough for the party-goers).  As a result, we didn't have enough space for the invited kids and we ran out of food before each kid ate pizza.

It wasn't necessarily a matter of cost - the venue limited the number of kids that we could host.

What does this have to do with anything though? Not one person has said its ok to bring uninvited kids to the party room or to eat the food. No one. But you are really overstepping if you think people shouldn't have gone to the public skate and then picked up their other kid after the party is over. That's what's insanely controlling. The people who are suggesting it's somehow rude for siblings to be entertained in the same building![/quote]

But many stories are showing that siblings meander their way into the parties.  How can you not see that.  Hanging around at a party for 1-2hrs is really weird.  It makes the host tense (do I invite them for cake, ask if they need anything, do they feel excluded)  it makes the kid going to the party wonder why his family has to stay.  It makes the sibling a potential disaster of wanting to hang out with the older kids, do what they are doing, "no fair, I want cake."  etc...

Just avoid all of that by not staying.  It is very easy to drop off and make plans to do something else.  Very easy.  Library, mall, fast food play area, go food shopping, go to another kid-friendly location, local playground, go to a diner for lunch.  This is not rocket science.   [/quote]
