[quote=Anonymous]We have an only who is now 7. The last class party we had was for 4th bday and we had same issue. Gymnastics party. Having 3yos and 8yos at a 4yo's party changes the dynamics. Older sibs can be dominating and suddenly the bday kid isn't feeling so special. I don't get why some parents think all of their kids need to do the same thing -- parties, play dates, lessons, etc. "Oh my little Jimmy 2yo will cry if he's excluded" -- but your 2yo won't remember the next day!! IMO it is the parents that don't want to deal with their kid crying --- at the expense of both the invited kid and the host family. I have siblings myself and we are very close, but having alone time with my parent was so special. And in same vein, not having to be overshadowed by your older siblings or tripping over your younger siblings is a good thing. And, like a PP said, if you have an 8yo you should be well aware of just how much a bounce party costs for the basic plan. Very rude to bring uninvited sibs and increase cost for another family. Tacky. Sorry you are stressing OP. I remember being anxious about this too bc we were up to 25 kids when only 16 were invited. [/quote]
