I guess I've been here in the US too long because when I invite one of my kid's friends... I am only inviting the friend. I would have a heart attack if the whole family showed and stayed.

I think most people care about siblings not attending because they are paying a price per child at a location. It sounds like this party was either at home or in a venue where there wasn't a price per child.

Hispanics are White people too, dummy.


To be technical, not all of them. To be fair, you have to know the pp meant that in a cultural sense.


Maybe she plays dumb on the internet.

Actually you could read it as the possessive.

This was a specific question about Latino culture. Get it?

You are wrong.


NP. Where else is this commonplace?


Every place where good manners are observed. I'm so tired of this kid-is-invited-so-the-whole-family-goes. The person NAMED ON THE INVITATION goes, and that is the only person who attends!

Please see the many posts here on DCUM fretting about extra siblings or parents staying at parties. Most presumably posted by white folks.

Yes, it's assumed that the family will come. Luckily in Latino culture parties are about fun and togetherness!

EVERYONE was invited-siblings and parents. There was ample food and amazing music. It was over-the-top in a good way not in a display of wealth way. Lots of love and happiness.


Noticed that today. Great party
