Kids party no food

[Thebabewiththepowerof]

Quick one

Aibu to think the recent move towards not providing party food at kids parties is a bit odd?

Just picked up DS from yet another party where no food was provided (and no it’s not a cost thing, not in this case anyway) just a doughnut 🍩.

The kids don’t care I’m sure but I wasn’t planning on doing a “dinner” tonight so had to come home and produce something from nothing because he was hungry. If you aren’t providing food then at least tell us in advance so we know!

Anyway, am I?

ps for context he is 8, appreciate if he were 16 this would all be a bit weird 🤪

The level of rudeness and TBH venom you’ve shown would be classified as an attack.

good grief, if you react like that when someone has an opinion about kids parties, I am not sure i want to know your reaction when people have an actual argument!

Laughing at your own joke 😂

The kids had a good time, nobody was left out, they all got birthday cake and went home with a goody bag. Sounds like the meaning of fun to me.

The poster had said that it was commonplace at that venue not to do food so I doubt the parents were put out either.

Fun doesn’t have to be “normal” to you.

I’m not reacting to your opinion on parties. I’m reacting to your judgemental attitude and nastiness towards another poster.

It's not haughty. It's just the kids don't need to eat every 2-3 hours plus they DID eat anyway

Christ, this is no way to live. If we're awake 10 hours a day, we should be eating more often than every 3 hours.

It's a children's party, not weight watchers

It’s a PARTY. There should be food provided. That constitutes a party. Giving a slice of cake at the end does not constitute food. Otherwise it’s a playdate.
If you can pay for 40 kids to attend a soft play place you send out invites and do not provide as much as a packet of crisps that is incredibly mean.
These kids are 5 years old. SO many other things you could do instead whilst providing food and still gave change left. That is not bullying. It is an opinion that tge VAST majority on here share.

A slice of cake is food

No wonder there's an obesity epidemic

Oh yes, you do sound fun.

You also seem very keen on attacking me personally. If it makes you feel better, keep going 😂

How is cake not food? If crisps are food then cake is food. If it's not lunch or dinner time then cake and drinks are fine.

Giving your opinion is fine, but when it carries on over multiple pages and multiple people feel the need all stick the boot in to one particular person then it is bullying, especially when that person isn't even the original poster and just came to say how they celebrated their childs' birthday.

It's really unpleasant that a group of grown adults felt the need to kick someone repeatedly for providing drink and cake for 40 children at a birthday party.

@Pillock

erm no we shouldn’t be eating every three hours.

@Youcantellalotofthingsabouttheflowers

I don’t think kids care about food at parties, more interested in playing

😂😂😂😂😂 a slice if cake is given at the end of every party… you know after the food or snacks. You bring obesity into it! Best i’ve heard from you yet (after your deleted posts that is)

@Youcantellalotofthingsabouttheflowers

cake is food. End of. And quite calorific food too.

I wouldn’t know, been to about 100 parties and guess what? Every single one of them had food or snacks, not a slice of birthday cake disguised as party food.

Cutting a cake and giving kids a slice is not party food. It is dressed up as such but it is just a really poor disguise for lack of catering at a PARTY.

What deleted posts?

The cake can be served at the party, and cake is food.

Thank you yes! cake is food!

That's such an unhealthy attitude. Yes, it's food and there's calorie in it.
But lighten up, it's perfectly fine within a healthy diet.

It is NOT bullying. The poster is NOT replying . It is a debate between people who quite rightly provide refreshments at a party and those that do not. I’ve been called every name under the sun on this thread. Have I retaliated by doing the same? No. Am I pulling the bullying card? Also no. It is simply opinions of what constitutes a kids party and what doesn’t. Learn the difference.

I took that as meaning it's a decent treat for 3pm.

Obviously someone reported you and your post was removed.

Oh OK I'll have a look! Didn't know that

If the person isn't even replying then it's even more likely to be bullying. She's been shouted off the thread by grown adults who should know better.
