DP here. So are my 10y old and my 6y old - so cute when she says Trump is mean and evil and doesn't like brown kids.
We have to start early pp, to mold them according to our family values. If they change it later, it is ok. Same with religion.
Its not cute and really bizarre to teach kids that.
I didn't say he was evil - I just showed my kids the pictures of the (mostly brown) kids in cages. And I didn't even get into the whole "can't find the parents of thousands of kids" thing....
His actions speak for themselves. She drawn her own conclusions...

Friends only.
The PPs who say younger siblings must be included are the same ones who bring theirs to birthday parties uninvited. Not everything is for everyone.

Sounds like enough people think it would be ok not to leave one for sibilings, so we will go that route. It would really be cost-prohibitive, given that some of his friends have 2 or 3 sibilings (including step sibilings).
The other solution here is to deliver the fancy cupcake to the friend and include something cheaper for the family to share (a plate of cookies or something).

Friends only. My 3 and 5 yr olds understand that sometimes one kid goes to a party, gets a party favor, or gets a treat or experience the other one does not.

Will it be cute when your kid’s friends’ younger siblings say that YOU are mean and evil and don’t like kids?

Maybe I’m also in a bad mood because although I don’t support Trump, I’m not that happy over Biden. I don’t think he’s a great choice. I am seeing my 13 yo fall into the media traps like many and repeat things he sees that may or may not be true. Personally, I’m pretty disgusted with the entire election.
If your son and his friends are actual Biden supporters for real reasons then go ahead, have a celebration after it is announced. Don’t leave cupcakes tomorrow morning when you don’t know the outcome.
I don’t get it. You don’t support Trump, but you are displeased with literally the only pathway out of Trumpworld. It is the only exit, baby.
Yes. You see the reason for my bad mood. Because I’m not sure Biden is going to be good for this country in a different way. But this thread is about cupcakes and it looks like OP now has a plan. I think it’s fine to skip the siblings and the plan sounds like a good one now that she’s waiting.

Capitalism. We have to make sure those less fortunate have something to aim for.

Yes, you certainly are in a bad mood!
“Real” reasons, my a** - I don’t care what your reasons are,l, or whether you developed them in a way approved by this PP; let’s vote that guy out!
As to your question, yes, leave something for the sibs. Maybe get a tray of something cheaper for them and label accordingly. Otherwise it will suck for them.
