[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did the OP specify if this is a childcare issue or not?[/quote]

The host is not responsible for child care issues. If a specified guest cannot attend because child care is not available for their sibling, the guest (likely through the parent) need only RSVP “no”.[/quote]

You sound lovely.  Do you live around friends from high school?  Your mom?  Just not care to meet new people?  Why wouldn’t you be at least a little accommodating to your guests?  
I don’t think your attitude of hoping no one shows to your kids birthday party is as universal as you think it is. [/quote]

Actually, we live 1500 mi from friends and family, and we are transplants with few resources.

I simply don’t put my needs on a child's birthday party.

So why don’t you want to meet the parents of the kids in your child’s class?  Don’t you need friends?  Someone who owes you a favor?  [/quote]

What does meeting people for my social needs have to do with arbitrarily self inviting a second sibling to a birthday party where only one child has been invited? [/quote]

I am not trying to understand why you don’t empathize with the OP.  I am trying to understand why you, as a hostess, would prefer a “no” RSVP over accommodating a sibling. 
[b] I know that part of the reason I have parties for my kids is to try to get to know the parents. [/b] I was speculating on reasons this wouldn’t matter to you, but it’s still a mystery to me.  [/quote]

Then I would host a play date or open house. I don’t rely on my child’s birthday party, which is usually very important to THEM,  (or actually any even surrounding them) to make ME friends. [/quote]
