AIBU, ... to think that a party for 5 year olds from 6.30pm until 8.30pm at a soft play place on a SUNDAY is too late!

[TheSweetLittleBunny]

DS aged 5 goes up for his bedtime at 7.00 and is normally asleep by 8.

Yes its too late. Imagine bedtime after being overexcited and full of party food!

But maybe it was the only time available?

My DS wouldn't be going if invited, he is usually asleep at 7.30, if not earlier. If it was a Saturday I would think about it but definitely not a Sunday.

yanbu

waaaaaay too late

If it's not a regular occurance then i would let mine go. It won't kill them will it?

Mine have been up late now and again and they have generally fallen asleep in the car on the way home or been asleep v quickly after going to bed.

I really think it's too late for a SUnday evening - he doesn't even play with the girls who are having it but they are in his class

YANBU - way too late in my book for a 5 yr old

Been told party is actually on the Saturday but still at the same time 6.30 to 8.30.

I still think it is late, I have talked DS into letting us take him on a trip to the Space Centre on that day instead of the party. The girl whose party it is, is in his class, he says she is nice but not someone he plays with.

i wouldn't worry if on a Saturday

Regardless of the day my dd1 (shes 4) would be having a meltdown with tiredness by 7.30 (normally in bed 6.30 asleep by 7)

Goodness as a once of no big deal, what do you do if you go out for a meal etc?

to be honest if we go out for a meal in the evening they tend to be at my parents/pil for the night, they are both fine in the day but dd2 (22months) is always asleep by 6.15 so just not worth attempting to take her to a restuarant (we'll go to friends/they come to us as she'll sleep in one of their beds)

i'd politely decline and just say we had other plans.

Way too late in my opinion.

YANBU, way too late.

YANBU - it's a silly time to have a party for that age group. If nothing else, I actually quite like my Sunday evenings to be calm, to help me get ready for Monday!

god its really not a big deal on a saturday as a one off

now you've saddled yourself with the space centre

doh

Seems late but nto the end of the world - if it is too much just decline, no big deal.

cali - op corrected it to Saturday !

oh well i guess its ok on a saturday but personally i wouldn't want to spend my saturday night at a children's party but then i'm selfish

Sunday - too late
Saturday - yes, quite late and not a time I would choose. But it is a one off so DD would be allowed to go.

Sounds loopy to me. I'd say no!

(But then, we are not party people...)

There'd be no chance of a lazy day on Sunday unfortunately - I have the non-sleeping-when-tired variety of child - he'd be a pain for the rest of the weekend, whiny, grumpy, crying at every little thing

I'm glad many of you think IANBU - was beginning to wonder if I was being overprotective.

We do go out for meals louii - just not at 8.00, and if we go out to relatives in London, he is usually asleep at his normal time on the way back in the car.

On a Sunday yanbu if it is a school night.
On a Saturday yabu if you don't let him go.
