Advice and views please?
Dd1 is 3 in October and currently is being invited to every part going (or perhaps it just seems that way )
She goes to nursery - and seems to be invited to every party. Also I still see some of my antenatal friends and she is invited to these parties as well.
Quite frankly I cannot believe that 3 year olds are having 'proper' parties - I thought I wouldn't have to do them until she was at least at school.
Dd1 has been to 3 parties already and said no to 3 as we were on holiday. There is a party every Saturday and Sunday in September!!!!!
I was intending to do just the traditional family party at home or just have a few of her friends around.
I now feel that I need to hire somewhere as no way will I be able to cope with 10+ 3 year olds (with or without parents). Some of the parties have been at Leisure centres etc already.
It is lovely that dd1 is popular and is being invited. I also feel awful not inviting some children who have invited dd1 - I just feel mean - I wouldn't like this to happen to dd1 - so why do it to other children?
Is it normal for 3 year olds to have 'proper' parties?
What do you think. Is it just the done thing to invite everyone that invited your lo?
Advice gratefully received from other mners with older children - what did you do?
