[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unless they decide they want a joint party, two parties. Each kid gets their own party. [/quote]

Yep.   But we don’t throw lavish events - cupcakes from a box, a Costco thing of chips, and a playground = party.  [/quote]

Ugh.  I hate those parties.  Especially the ones like that where you are expected to bring a gift. [/quote]

+ 1. I’m sorry, PP, but I really hate those parties too unless it’s absolutely a no gift party.  [/quote]

+1 I really dislike these parties as well. It's not about the gifts. I don't care if I have to bring or not. It's more that it doesn't really feel like a party. As a parent I have to stay because I'm not comfortable leaving them in an open public park. There isn't anywhere for parents to sit, no coffee or snacks for parents. And there typically are not bathrooms. It's really not a well hosted party.[/quote]

Yeah I'm annoyed about the lack of bathrooms at playgrounds. When I visit my parents in North Carolina I noticed that most of the playgrounds have real bathroom facilities and it's seriously lacking in Montgomery county.

The rest I don't necessarily agree, when I've been invited to playground birthday parties usually there is snacks for adults and benches.

I'm a fan of low key parties for preschool aged kids because I think kids are just happy to get to the play and have fun and they don't need a lot of extras to be happy. We didn't start doing really big birthday parties until age 5. (And with covid didn't end up getting to do the big party that was planned so we did a much bigger party when she turned six)[/quote]
