Kids parties - why are people so cheeky?

[latte101]

It's my DS's party in a couple of weeks. I've had four parents ask can they bring younger siblings! Wtf is this about?! There's 28 coming already! I'd never dream of asking!!

Well you've made him sound absolutely insufferable so I can't imagine the invitations will carry on after Christmas. Still, I'm sure he's got better things to do smile

*@Clymene* this was really unkind. I hope you feel a little bit ashamed of yourself for this comment. That and the hoarding of 1 pound worth party bags from the siblings of your birthday guests...you can do better.

Nope. Not at all

@BFrazzled You sound absolutely barking mad.

@BFrazzled you sound like the worst kind of parent and your son will suffer for it.

The sheer nerve of you, BFrazzled; exhorting other posters to do better

I feel like I struck some note with people who spend 300 pounds on a bounce castle in a village hall and then drive themselves mad with counting how many additional party bags and sausages they will have to give the siblings of the darling guests who are to be entertained by this original setup (just for the record- I did a few of these myself so there is no criticism of this timeless birthday party setup in this post. Just of the accompanying stinginess)

So I should pay £10 for your darling child, who my child won't even know, to attend my child's birthday party. Yeah OK. It is people like you that mean I have to write no siblings on birthday invitations in the first place.

Would you do this at any occasion you were invited to? Or is it just school parents you like to be a cheeky fucker to?

[GreyhoundG1rl]

You're so hung up on the notion of it being "stingy" to not want random children your child has never actually met at your child's party, it's very peculiar...
I'll bet you're the sort who'll insist on bringing the whole extended family to weddings as well, regardless of what the invitation actually says.
Bizarre.

I've had this before, tbh I appreciated being asked as I know people who have had parents just turned up with sibling in tow.

If it's a at home or hire hall party where numbers are flexible I haven't minded too much. However if it's a per head such BC as soft play then they have had to pay for their other child x
