To think this is a bit odd

[DDDDDORA]

To serve sparkling water only at a children's party, confirmed by party child's mother as it's her DC favourite.
AIBU to think that still water and/or something else should have been provided as well?

YANBU sparkling water is a marmite drink.

Bad hostess skills to not offer plain water.

Would they not give you tap water??

It's a bit late now if the party has already happened.

Yuck, deffo odd

Urgh, I'd have been at her tap with my glass, I can't bear sparkling water.

It was the first time that I have left DD at a party. She says she asked for something else to drink but was told that was all there was.
DD was quite upset by the time I picked her up as she was thirsty and had a headache.
I just find it odd that nothing else was provided especially as the venue had a coffee shop attached.

Not a good hostess with the mostest was she?

She should have provided an alternative.

Why couldn't they have given her tap water?

Oh my - I hate sparking water. Yuk.

How could the host be so narrow minded to think all children like bubbles? I hope my dd would have gone with her cup to the tap. She doesn't like the sensation of bubbles in her mouth at the moment...which I am very silently pleased about.

I don't think many children like unflavoured fizzy water, do they? DD does, but DS hated anything fizzy (including coke & lemonade) until he was at least 12. And also hated squash/fruitshoots, so came back from a lot of parties very thirsty. I think plain tap water should always be an option.

Bad hostess, plain tap water should have been offered too. My whole family hate the fizzy water but will happily drink tap water.

Yuck, I personally hate sparkling water. She should have at least offered tap water as well.

Yuck, yanbu op - bad manners.
