[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We always rsvp no to any party that doesn’t include siblings.  DH works on weekends and I’m not hiring a babysitter for a birthday party.  [/quote]

Same.  And it has nothing to do with cheapness.  It just isn’t worth the hassle for me to find a babysitter so I can spend 2 hrs  standing around in a bounce house warehouse.

If you are going to require parents to stay at your child’s party then you shouldn’t book it at such a place that siblings will be a huge problem. If you want to do this, just expect more no responses than otherwise [/quote]

Where is the other parent?

I always tag teamed with Dh when kids were younger. If we didn’t know the family and kid was just a random classmate, we would decline. If it was a close friend, both boys would have been invited. Most of the time, I would take turns with Dh taking invited kid to party.

Now I have 3 kids and parties are drop off.[/quote]

What bubble do you live in that you can’t conceive of a family that doesn’t have two adults who are willing and able to center their work and their lives around getting a three year old to a birthday party?  
I mean, yes, some people can and do.  But it blows my mind that you cannot imagine anyone having a life or a job that doesn’t revolve around your child’s birthday party.
