One of my friends invited me to their child's birthday party at 10am on Sunday. AIBU if I refuse to go? What you would have done assuming reaching the venue takes 1 hour. And you have school going kids who need a break on Sunday?

I’ve been to many children’s parties at 10am on a Sunday. I really don’t see an issue

I don't see a problem with it. Our kids are up at 6 am every day of the week though, so 10am is practically lunchtime here.

We go to church too - we would just go to a different service that week, that didn't clash.

Mine are climbing the walls by 9am so of course we'd go

So you don't go op, it is hilarious that you think the timing should have been made to suit you specifically Grin Just sty at home if you don't want to go!

When DS was little I would not have liked it because Sunday was the only day we could all have where we were not on a schedule as he had sport early on a Saturday. In the week both DH and I had awful commutes to different city centres. He was never invited to a morning party they were always afternoon.

I hate parties on a Sunday at 10. I will take my kids but really am not keen and wouldn’t do it myself.

Sounds fine OP. So because you can't be arsed your kids can't go to a party? Nice.

There’s loads I can’t be arsed doing for my kids. I just don’t mind early starts so this one wouldn’t be a sticking point for me. I don’t think it’s healthy to accept every imposition for the benefit of your kids. They’ll have more respect for you and awareness of others overall if they understand that mum and dad will occasionally prioritise their own agenda.
