[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Goody bags are the worst, and if I had a child who expressed disappointment at the lack of one after having two hours of fun at a party to which someone else was kind enough to invite them, I'd feel like a failure as a parent.[/quote]

They had better keep any emotions buttoned up. Mommy doesn't want to hear it.[/quote]
They can express it all they want, and they'll be told to get over it. Not every emotion has to be indulged.  It's not my job to give my child a disappointment-free life. [/quote]

[b]It's a little like vaccinations, though.  [/b]You not providing gift bags has no effect on YOUR child since your birthday kid gets presents.

Parents who don't want them should start telling the host beforehand so they don't make one for you and then you should manage your own kid's emotions.  Put your own kid's disappointment where your mouth is for a year before you lecture anyone else. [/quote]

:shock:

Only on DCUM.   :roll:
